Bladnoch distillery was sold in 2015 and Adela was one of three releases to be launched ahead of the summer 2017 reopening. The name Adela comes from the Latin ‘rich and noble’, signifying the depth of this special Whisky that has been matured in ex Oloroso Sherry casks. 

One of a trio of 2017 releases from Bladnoch celebrating the reopening of the distillery in the Lowland region. The Adela 15 Year Old expression is crafted using whiskies matured in both American and Spanish oak Oloroso Sherry butts. *

Bladnoch is a Lowland distillery with a turbulent history. For the majority of which it struggled to remain open, changing hands on many occasions. Among the its former owners were Inver House and Bell's, who changed the style of the distillery's production to meet their needs, meaning there is a great variety in the flavours of both the distillery bottlings and independent releases that have appeared over the years.
