Bladnoch Single Cask Le Clos Exclusive No 2 Cask3201 70CL

Bladnoch Single Cask, Le Clos Exclusive No. 2, cask 3201, is another rare single-cask release bottled exclusively for Le Clos, offering whisky enthusiasts a second, distinct expression of Bladnoch's Lowland spirit from an individual cask rather than a standardised blend. Where the distillery's regular releases combine multiple casks to achieve a consistent house profile, this single-cask bottling reveals the specific character produced by cask 3201 alone, making it a genuinely individual and collectible whisky. Expect deep, layered flavours of caramel, vanilla, and a touch of smoke — a profile that leans sweeter and more indulgent than Bladnoch's typically delicate Lowland style, likely reflecting the particular cask type and maturation conditions this expression underwent. The nose should combine rich caramel and vanilla sweetness with a faint smoky undertone, while the palate carries that sweetness through with added spice and oak complexity built up over years of maturation. The finish is expected to be smooth and warming, closing on lingering caramel and a whisper of smoke. As with its companion release, this cask 3201 bottling is aimed at serious collectors and Bladnoch enthusiasts seeking genuinely limited, single-cask expressions. Best enjoyed neat, in a proper tasting glass, savoured slowly.
