I bought a bottle of Bladnoch 11 last year on a whim and have been hunting for more of their bottlings ever since. Easily one of my favorite pours from a seldom discussed distillery! I hope you enjoy your trip there!
This is a great channel, congratulations and I’m glad I found you. I’m actually from the Greenock area, now living in TN. I’d love to help you with the pronounciation (sp?) of the Scottish towns and regions- not a criticism at all, just an genuine offer. You could help me with spelling though I’m sure! Keep up the great work and good luck with the exam.
I just returned from my third trip to Scotland. I've yet to meet a Scotsman who pronounces my first name correctly so I don't get too worked up about the minutiae of pronouncing the names. Many cities and locations in in the USA are named after Scottish places but we don't pronounce them the way they do in Scotland. For example, the "burgh" at the end of "Pittsburgh" in Pennsylvania is not pronounced the same as "burgh" at the end of "Edinburgh" in Scotland. So, if you hear an American pronouncing Scottish words differently and it bothers you, get over it.
I just recently finished a bottle of Bladnoch Vinaya and just loved it. It reminded me of Bunnahabhain 12 year, but a little lighter. I will be purchasing another bottle soon.
Thanks for sharing! I'm looking forward to visiting Bladnoch and there is a shop in San Francisco that has a good selection so I'll probably pick up a few bottles.
I think the word got out on Bladnoch in my area. As soon as they hit the shelves they’re gone. A lowland I’m curious about is Carsebridge. I’ve seen their 40 year old offering from Dramfool that has piqued my interest. I did have a 11 year single grain from Girvan and rascally spirit is an appropriate descriptor.
There are very few Lowland Scotches available in Ontario. That's ok though. I don't typically go for triple distilled. I like bolder flavors with a more unctuous character.
@@ErikWaitWhiskyStudies The only one that I can consistently find here is Auchentoshan. 🤣 There is one bottle of Glenkinchie Distillers Edition @ $105CAD which is a bit rich for 43%ABV. Unless you say that it is a must have.
@@ErikWaitWhiskyStudies The same map as you, you cheeky bastard. I know Glasgow and Edinburgh are part of the lowlands, I live between them. The lowlands geography stretches up the north east coast

Great video! Why wasn't Strathclyde Distillery mentioned?
Thanks for the great educational content as always!
Glad you enjoyed it! 🥃

Lochlea is excellent and will only get even better. I've heard good things about Kingsbarns.

Only Auchentoshan is triple distilled so there are 18 other Lowland Malt distilleries to choose form.

I'm from Scotland and Dundee and Aberdeen are in the lowlands. Geographically anyway, so with whisky, it is different?
What maps are YOU looking at? Aberdeen is far north of the lowlands. Glasgow and Edinburgh are in the lowlands.

No, it doesn’t. Here is a link to the Scotch Whisky Association map: www.scotch-whisky.org.uk/discover/enjoying-scotch/scotch-whisky-regions/
Five new distilleries in FIfe alone - time for a new whisky region?!? #KingdomOfFifeSingleMalt
Hmmmm.... sounds like a good discussion.
