Bladnoch’s rich history dates back to 1817, when John and Thomas McClelland were first granted a license to distil whisky on their Bladnoch farm in Scotland’s Lowlands. In the ensuing years, Bladnoch Distillery grew and was modernised, cementing its status as the “Queen of the Lowlands”. ‘Vinaya’, a Sanskrit word meaning respect and gratitude, pays homage to the original founders of the distillery who paved the way, as Bladnoch looks forward to an exciting new era of production and innovation. The Vinaya Single Malt is matured in a unique combination of 1st fill Bourbon and 1st fill Sherry casks for notes of fresh apple, sweet floral grass and hints of chocolate.
