Bladnoch Alinta is a peated single malt Scotch from Bladnoch, the Lowland distillery on the banks of the River Bladnoch in Wigtownshire. It is bottled at 47% ABV, non-chill filtered and with natural colour.
Alinta is an Indigenous Australian word from several south-eastern language groups meaning fire and flames, a nod to Bladnoch's Australian owner and to the campfire embers found in each sip. The whisky marries PX sherry and ex-bourbon casks with a sweet, smoky peated spirit, a style that sets it apart from anything Bladnoch had released before.
Expect campfire, floral and sweet notes: smoky ice cream and delicate florals with sweet oak on the nose; campfire smoke, almonds and raisins over a white chocolate body; and a long finish with sweet smoke.
For drinkers who know the Lowlands for gentle, unpeated malts, Alinta is a delicious surprise.
Scotch whisky must be distilled and matured in Scotland for at least three years in oak casks, and any age statement on the label refers to the youngest whisky in the bottle.
