Lowland distillery Bladnoch – aka, the oldest working Scotch distillery – has released a trio of ‘ultra-rare’ single malt whiskies called The Samhla Collection [Samhla derived from the Scots Gaelic word meaning ‘symbol’ or ‘likeness’] that is intended to showcase three generations of Bladnoch’s history, which was revived in 2015 after a 200+ year history.
The Samhla Collection is extremely limited – even more so in the Scotch world of numerous limited editions – and consists of a mere 15 bottles of The McClelland, distilled in 1966; 50 bottles of The Prior, distilled in 1990; and 100 bottles of The Sage, distilled in 2008.
Bladnoch The McClelland was matured in an American oak cask and is said to offer notes of chocolate, green apples, mint and orange peel.
Bladnoch The Prior is said to offer notes of apricot, dates, licorice and pepper.
Bladnoch The Sage was matured in a pair of American oak red wine hogsheads and is said to offer notes of black cherries, black pepper and strawberry.
Any of the trio are being made available at the Bladnoch official website [www.bladnoch.com/thesamhlacollection].
