Bladnoch Distillery
Bladnoch Distillery, founded in 1817 by brothers John and Thomas McClelland, is a historic Lowlands single malt whisky distillery located on the northern bank of the River Bladnoch, near Bladnoch Bridge and just upstream from Wigtown in southwest Scotland. Equipped with two small stills, this intimate operation has experienced multiple closures over the years, most recently in 2009, but is undergoing extensive refurbishment with a re-opening planned for late 2016. Known for producing distinctive Lowlands single malt, Bladnoch whiskies are also available through independent bottlers, including Gordon & MacPhail and the Old Malt Cask range from Hunter Laing, ensuring continued interest in this storied distillery’s unique contributions to Scottish whisky heritage.
