Description

Bladnoch Samsara is a Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky released to celebrate the distillery's 200th anniversary. The name 'Samsara' means 'rebirth,' reflecting the distillery's revival under new ownership in 2015, with production resuming in 2017. This non-age-statement whisky is a blend of malts matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and first-fill Californian red wine casks. It is bottled at 46.7% ABV, non-chill filtered, and naturally colored.

Nose
Creamy vanilla, floral, orange zest, fresh-cut apples, and fruit compote with notes of macerated stone fruits, red berries, red grapes, and a touch of spice and nuttiness. Hints of sweet orange liqueur, honey, and dry oak.
Palate
Sweet and malty with thick vanilla fudge, plum, and citrus. Light and peachy flavors, cherry blossom, stone fruits, and a gentle rise of vanilla oak. Rich, mouthcoating with juicy raisin, sultana, golden syrup, and baked apple with cinnamon.
Finish
Long, rich, sugary, and sweet with hints of citrus, spice, and fruit. A gentle oaky tingle, lasting plain chocolate notes, and a distinct drying oak.
