About Bladnoch

At Wigtown, in the green Galloway lowlands, stands Bladnoch, the most southerly distillery in Scotland. Born in 1817, silenced and stirred back to life more than once, most recently rescued in 2015 by Australian David Prior, it makes a soft, floral, gently sweet Lowland spirit, a survivor with a light touch.
