Bladnoch Alinta Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Bladnoch Alinta is a striking single malt from the Lowlands of Scotland, rooted in tradition but ignited by innovation. Its name, derived from the Southeast Australian word for “fire” or “flames,” captures the essence of this expression—bold, warm, and memorably smoky. Matured in a thoughtful blend of Pedro Ximénez sherry and ex-bourbon casks, Alinta showcases the distillery’s peated style in a way that’s both refined and distinctive.

On the nose, you’re greeted with an unusual and inviting aroma of smoky ice cream layered with soft floral notes and sweet oak. The palate offers a smooth but vibrant experience of campfire smoke that wraps around flavors of roasted almonds, juicy raisins, and a silky white chocolate body. This interplay of sweet and smoke lends itself to a texture that's rich but never overpowering, delivering both familiarity and surprise in every sip.

Bottled at 47% ABV, Alinta delivers an enduring finish filled with sweet smoke, making it a compelling pour for both peat lovers and those new to the style. Best enjoyed neat to appreciate the full character, it also opens up beautifully with a few drops of water. A rare and evocative Lowland malt, Alinta invites exploration beyond the expected.
