Bladnoch Distillery has undergone a remarkable renaissance in the last few decades. Ignored for many years and eventually closed like so many sadly missed Lowlanders, the distillery nevertheless found a new lease of life in private ownership and became a popular favourite amongst whisky aficionados the world over. After a subsequent period of turbulence, the distillery changed hands in 2015 and has been smooth sailing ever since. If you've never tried Bladnoch's whisky, its Lowland elegance is one of the more distinctive tastes in malt whisky and is well worth exploring.
