Once again, we invite our most trusted friends of Bladnoch Distillery to join Dr Nick Savage in a virtual tasting for the 2023 Loch Maberry Release. This year's virtual event will be a blind tasting of four unique cask samples, each carefully chosen by Nick to tantalise your tastebuds. The winning cask will go on to be bottled as the third edition of the Loch Maberry Collection and will be offered first to you, the people who selected it.
This year's virtual tasting will be held via Zoom with the date to be announced. Upon purchase of your 4-piece tasting kit, the Bladnoch team will share the official Zoom invitation to join.
Please note, this tasting is strictly invitation only. We kindly ask you not to share this private link with anyone else.
Introducing the Master Distiller’s Waterfall Collection, highlighting the journey that our whisky takes to mature its flavours and character. In five very special annual releases, Dr Nick Savage will unveil 1000 bottles each year, exclusively available at Bladnoch Distillery.
To cover the five years of releases, sufficient aged Bladnoch Single Malt has been set aside from a combination of sweet ex-Bourbon casks and intense Oloroso Sherry casks maturing in the archives. In year one, we will taste the whisky at the beginning of its maturation journey. Exquisite notes of lemon cake and dried apricot give this stunning first release a sweet freshness on the palate.
In each year that follows, the remaining liquid will be decanted into a new type of cask for a new layer of finishing where flavour and character will develop further. At the end of each year, Dr Nick Savage will assess how the whisky has matured and decide what the next cask type will be. This means our final Whisky is yet to be defined.
After a sellout Year One, Nick Savage's Master Distiller's Waterfall Release is back with Batch 02.
Continuing on the journey from Batch 01, the whisky has been taken out of the original Oloroso Sherry and Bourbon casks and refilled into Oloroso Sherry Puncheons developing new notes of treacle, dried apricots and hints of dark chocolate.
Please note, Batch 02 is limited to one bottle per customer.
Welcome to Year Three in the five-year journey to explore the world of whisky maturation like never before. Bladnoch’s Master Distiller, Dr Nick Savage, continues the Waterfall Collection, highlighting the journey that our whisky takes to mature its flavours and character.
Released annually, each batch in the Waterfall Collection demonstrates a different way that the same aged Bladnoch Single Malt can be matured for a completely unique taste.
In the previous years, we enjoyed the first Waterfall Release at the beginning of its journey, matured in a combination of ex Bourbon and ex Oloroso Sherry casks. The remaining whisky was placed into Oloroso Sherry Puncheons in Year Two.
Today, we continue our maturation journey with Batch 03.
This whisky has spent the last year in Port Pipes developing new notes of aged dates with nutmeg, root ginger, and a slightly peppery finish.
Limited to one bottle per customer. Please note, multiple orders will be refunded automatically.
