About this bottle

Bladnoch Single Malt Dragon Series Iteration I “The Field” 46.7% 0.7L.

Sells in a set of 5 different iterations.

Bladnoch stands as the world’s oldest privately owned Scotch whisky distillery, its legacy still flowing seamlessly since 1817.

The rich heritage of Bladnoch traces its origins to John and Thomas McClelland, who were granted the esteemed license to distil whisky on their Bladnoch farm in Scotland’s Lowlands. Over nearly a century, successive McClelland generations nurtured and modernized the distillery. At its zenith, the site boasted six washbacks and an annual production of approximately 230,000 liters of alcohol, solidifying its stature as the “Queen of the Lowlands.”

NICK SAVAGE THE MASTER DISTILLER

Dr. Nick Savage assumed the role of Master Distiller at Bladnoch Distillery in 2019, arriving from The Macallan with an impressive background.

The Dragon Series draws a parallel with whisky production, showcasing the vast variability inherent in the process—seemingly chaotic and unpredictable. Yet, through the skills, knowledge, and ancestral craftsmanship, each iteration culminates in a beautifully crafted whisky.

Iteration I serves as the cornerstone of our whisky journey. Harvested barley from the fields undergoes meticulous malting, shaping the primary raw material for our distillery. Even before this raw essence arrives at our doorstep, it embodies the diverse influences of nature, environment, and the malting process itself.
