Bladnoch Adela 15 Year Old Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Bladnoch Adela 15 Year Old Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a rich and elegant expression from Bladnoch, one of Scotland’s oldest distilleries, founded in 1817 in the rolling Lowlands. Revered as the “Queen of the Lowlands,” Bladnoch is known for producing delicate yet complex single malts, and the Adela release highlights this tradition through extended sherry cask maturation.

Crafted from 100% malted barley and matured for a full 15 years in oloroso sherry casks, Adela develops both depth and refinement while showcasing the distillery’s signature smoothness.

In the glass, it presents a deep mahogany color. The nose opens with rich aromas of dried fruit, dark chocolate, and warm spice, complemented by hints of toffee and oak. On the palate, it is full-bodied and silky, delivering layers of raisin, fig, orange peel, and honey balanced by sherried richness and gentle Lowland florals. The finish is long and warming, leaving behind notes of cocoa, spice, and lingering fruit sweetness.

Bladnoch Adela 15 Year Old is best savored neat or with a splash of water to reveal its complexity. It also pairs beautifully with rich foods such as roasted meats, dark chocolate desserts, or aged cheeses. As a matured Lowland single malt, it offers a perfect balance of sherried indulgence and regional delicacy, making it a prized bottle for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

The nose opens with dried fruit, dark berries, and rich toffee layered with notes of cocoa, spice, and polished oak. On the palate, it is full-bodied and smooth, offering flavors of raisins, figs, and candied orange balanced by honey, nutmeg, and subtle dark chocolate. The texture is velvety and refined, with a complexity that builds as it develops. The finish is long and warming, leaving lingering notes of sherried fruit, sweet spice, and oak.

Food Pairings

This 15-year-old whisky pairs beautifully with bold yet refined dishes. As a starter, cured meats or roasted nuts highlight its nutty sweetness. For the main course, venison stew, braised short ribs, or roast duck with cherry sauce enhance its sherried richness. Strong cheeses like aged Manchego or blue cheese create a powerful contrast, while desserts such as Christmas pudding, fruitcake, or flourless chocolate torte echo its deep, fruity-spiced finish.
