Description

A distillery with a turbulent history, punctuated by numerous ownership changes. It is currently part of the Pure Scot Ltd holdings of Australian entrepreneur and yoghurt mogul, David Prior. Although historically operated for the provision of blends, it is now focussed on its single malt brand. Decadent Drinks Ltd is a Perth-based independent bottler that was established in 2019. This is a special release of just 50 bottles of this 33 year old Bladnoch single malt, distilled in 1990 and matured in a refill bourbon barrel. It's a rich and extremely fresh buttery sweet and full of green apple, citrus and tropical fruit notes on the aftertaste.

Nose
Starts on lovely waxed papers, buttery notes and honeyed porridge. Hints of vanilla ice cream, stewed plums, ripe bananas, and whiffs of papaya. Increasingly citrusy with buttercups.
Palate
Big stuff with mirabelles, quinces, lime, mint, dried grasses, and hints of vanilla cake. Whiffs of camphor, citrus peels, pears, and buttered toast. Some white pepper and leather, with hints of clay and a herbal bitterness. Notes of candlewax and marmalade-on-toast.
Finish
Long, balancing stewed orchard fruits with a drop of grass juice and something malty and funky.
