In the heart of Scotland’s Lowlands, Bladnoch stands as the oldest independent distillery, its history etched into the rolling Galloway hills. From the McClellands’ first 1817 license to David Prior’s 2015 revival, the distillery has embraced reinvention by installing new stills, a solera of reserve spirits and a visitor centre, while keeping its Lowland character at the forefront.
Guided by Dr Nick Savage’s meticulous cask selection and wild-yeast fermentations, Bladnoch captures the purest expression of its coastal terroir. Sustainability is woven into every process, from river-sourced water to solar panels, ensuring this bold Galloway spirit shines on into its third century.
