Bladnoch Alinta Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700mL

Bladnoch Alinta Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Peated Lowland Single Malt | 47% ABV | 94 Proof | 700mL | Scotland | Ex-Bourbon & PX Sherry Casks

Process & Profile

Bladnoch Alinta Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky pairs campfire smoke with the sweetness of bourbon and Pedro Ximénez sherry cask maturation. Created by Master Distiller Dr. Nick Savage, this peated expression balances smoky intensity with dried fruit, creamy chocolate, and delicate floral notes.

Introduced in 2022, Alinta was the first peated addition to Bladnoch’s range following the distillery’s revival under David Prior. The producer explains that its name means “fire” and “flames” in several Southeast Australian Indigenous languages, reflecting its campfire character. Bottled at 47% ABV, Alinta is non-chill filtered and retains its natural color.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Peat smoke meets vanilla-like creaminess, light florals, and sweet oak.

• Palate: Campfire embers, raisins, almond, and creamy white chocolate.

• Finish: Persistent smoke with a lingering sweet edge.

What Makes It Special

• Peated Lowland character: Brings a distinctly smoky expression to Bladnoch’s portfolio.

• Non-chill filtered: Bottled without chill filtration.

• Natural color: No added coloring.

How to Enjoy

Start neat in a tulip-shaped glass to explore how the smoke, fruit, and creamy notes develop. Add a few drops of water if desired, tasting between additions to find your preferred balance.

For a pairing, try smoked almonds or dark chocolate. A single large ice cube offers another way to enjoy Alinta while gradually softening its intensity.
