Blackadder is an independent bottler of single malt Scotch whisky founded in 1995 by Robin Tucek and John Lamond. Blackadder’s philosophy is very simple, they have a belief that the Cask is King. Sixty to seventy percent of the flavours in a whisky are taken up slowly from the cask as the spirit lies maturing in the warehouse. The whisky is always bottled in clear bottles to see the natural colour of the whisky. They offer a few different bottling series, ‘Raw Cask’ which is whisky direct from the cask without any mechanical filtering leaving fragments of the charred wood in the bottle. ‘Black Snake’ which was introduced in 2014 allowing the company to adopt a Solera system where aged single malts are placed into Oloroso or Px Sherry casks for further ageing. When the cask is deemed ready only two thirds of the casks is taken for bottling and the rest added to the next cask. ‘Red Snake’ uses only aged single malt but this time taking first fill ex Bourbon barrels and using them like in the ‘Black Snake’ bottling’s. ‘Smoking Islay’ is where very smoky Islay peated malt whisky is used but never revealed, a very exciting approach to drinking whisky indeed. ‘Peat Reek’ the casks are selected of whisky produced using malted barley that has been heavily impregnated with the phenols and creosols of a gently-smouldering peat fire. Peat Reek is available in both Raw Cask and 46% Vol versions. ‘Peat Reek Embers’ are specially-selected casks from the well-known Peat Reek portfolio. All have the heavily-peated quality that is a hallmark of Peat Reek, but some of the Embers range have been given cask finishes selected to help further complement the whisky.

Miltonduff was one of the first distilleries to officially hold a license in Scotland. The distillery was built in 1824 and was erected on the site of an ancient monastery Founded by King Alexander II in 1230, Pluscarden Abbey is situated 6 miles southwest of Elgin. The land surrounding the distillery is extremely fertile and great for growing barley. The distillery takes its water from Black Burn and produces around 5,500,000 litres of spirit each year and most of this is used as a contributor to Ballantine’s blends. Expect a mellow whisky which is full bodied and aromatic.

This single malt Scotch whisky was distilled at the Milton Duff Distillery in 2006 and has been maturing in a single first fill ex Bourbon Hogshead for 10 years. It was drawn from cask no. 700950 at cask strength with a yield of only 244 bottles. Please note that this bottling contains it’s natural cask segments as well as all its natural oils and fats. It will go cloudy should water be added or left in a cool place.
