Bladnoch Alinta Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

This is the first-ever fully peated release in Bladnoch’s 205-year history, and at 55ppm with zero chill-filtration, it promises to be one of the tastiest Lowlanders ever! Since the distillery was recommissioned in 2015, a couple of weeks of the year have been dedicated to making heavily peated spirit but Alinta is the smokiest to date. Complimented by a combination of ex-Pedro Ximénez Sherry and ex-Bourbon barrels and suitably titled by an indigenous Australian word that means 'fire', Head of whisky creation, Dr. Nick Savage adds “ ...it is an amazing balance of rich raisin-like sweetness and smoky campfire that sets it apart from anything else in Bladnoch’s selection of single malts.” 47% Alc./Vol.

Other reviews... Weightier on the palate than you’d perhaps expect from a lowland. The peat is interesting. It’s prominent without being dominant. In fact, the overall feel of the whisky is one of balance. Bourbon, sherry, peat and fruity spirit all come through in equal measure, each having its moment to shine. A good quality whisky with layers of flavours to explore. - whiskyreviews.net
