1980 SV 18y

À propos

The Bladnoch 1980 SV is a rare, aged single malt from Scotland's southernmost active distillery, bottled by Signatory Vintage. This vintage example, released at a full 55.5% alcohol, showcases the refined elegance characteristic of Lowland whisky while revealing layers of complexity shaped by decades of maturation in ex-bourbon casks. The spirit's character shines through with distinctive malty, fruity, and oak-driven qualities. On the nose, ripe light fruits mingle with subtle floral notes and prominent oak influence. The palate delivers a distillate-driven maltiness with a pleasant biscuity quality, complemented by honeyed sweetness and developing spices that echo the ex-bourbon maturation. The finish remains wonderfully malty and honeyed, though relatively short—a testament to the whisky's age and the balance between spirit character and wood influence. A treasured bottling for collectors seeking authentic Lowland heritage.
