Bladnoch Dragon Series Iteration III 3 The Casks 70cl

Iteration III in the series showcases another primary source of variability within the parallel process of cask coopering. The coopering of our casks has to consider a multitude of variables, ranging from oak species and the growth environment, through to the technical challenges of toasting, charring and seasoning. All of which can have a significant butterfly effect on our final whisky if the natural chaos within is not crafted by the Cooper.

Bladnoch Distillery

Bladnoch Distillery is located in the south west of Scotland and is one of only six Lowland distilleries still to be in operation today. Found in Bladnoch near Wigtown in Dumfries and Galloway, this distillery is on the River Bladnoch’s banks and is Scotland’s most southern distillery. The distillery has a troubled past, and was narrowly saved from extinction in 2015 by Australian entrepreneur who has revitalised the distillery. Bladnoch is producing whisky once more.
