Bladnoch Vinaya Single Malt Scotch Whisky - Item Code: 09035
Tasting Notes and Characteristics:
Bladnoch Vinaya Single Malt Scotch Whisky greets the palate with a lively, approachable character that suits both celebratory gatherings and quiet evenings. Bottled at 46.7% ABV, this Lowland whisky is crafted in Scotland using a blend of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, which imparts a layered complexity while maintaining a smooth mouthfeel.
On tasting, Vinaya reveals bright notes of fresh apple, floral honey, and gentle vanilla, balanced by subtle hints of spice and citrus zest. Its delicate sweetness and light body make it an excellent companion for smoked salmon, where the whisky’s fruitiness lifts the savory richness of the fish. For dessert pairings, dark chocolate brings out deeper cocoa undertones in the whisky while allowing its soft oak finish to linger gracefully on the palate.

Established in 1817 by brothers John and Thomas McClelland, it stands as one of Scotland’s oldest single malt whisky distilleries. The distillery emphasizes traditional methods, using wooden washbacks and copper pot stills to craft its spirits. Bladnoch sources pure water from the nearby river and focuses on small-batch production to maintain quality and character in each release.
Beyond their flagship single malt Scotch whiskies, Bladnoch offers a diverse portfolio that includes limited edition expressions aged in various cask types such as Oloroso sherry, bourbon, and red wine barrels. The distillery also produces blended malts under different labels for select markets.

Scotch whiskey, a distinguished spirit originating from Scotland, is primarily made from malted barley for single malts and grains for blended varieties. This iconic drink undergoes a meticulous distillation process using pot stills for single malts and column stills for grain whiskies, followed by an aging period of at least three years in oak casks, often previously used for bourbon or sherry. The result is a diverse range of flavors and aromas that reflect the unique characteristics of its regions of origin.
Single malt Scotch typically boasts rich and complex flavors with notes of fruit, spice, smoke, peat, and oak, while blended Scotch offers a smoother profile with balanced hints of caramel, vanilla, and light smoke. The texture can vary significantly—from smooth and creamy to rich and oily—depending on the style. Scotch whiskey is versatile in its consumption; it can be enjoyed neat or on the rocks and serves as a key ingredient in classic cocktails like the Rob Roy or Blood & Sand.
