SCOTLAND'S oldest privately owned distillery has announced its latest release.

- With Richard Elias

Bladnoch’s Wave II: Distillery & Spirit is the second of a five-part project which aims to highlight the uniqueness of the Lowland distillery and its character.

Over the years, it will celebrate the five whisky-making pillars — malting, mashing, fermentation, distillation and maturation.

The limited edition series is the brainchild of Bladnoch master distiller Dr Nick Savage.

It has been created by selecting five Amontillado sherry tuns to be filled with whiskies from various combinations of cask types.

Each year, the cask types will be revealed and depict another pillar of Bladnoch whisky-making creativity.

The remaining whisky will then be decanted into the following year’s tun, creating a common thread and a “wave” effect throughout the series with the fifth and final release featuring components of the full collection.

Wave II: Distillery & Spirit shines a spotlight on Bladnoch’s Lowland distillery and spirit character.
