Bladnoch Vinaya WhiskyÂ
Treat your whisky-loving dad to a high-quality whisky this Father’s Day. What better way to show appreciation for your dad, grandad, stepdad, or father figure than with a truly remarkable dram? Vinaya, a Sanskrit word meaning respect and gratitude, pays homage to Bladnoch Distillery’s original founders who paved the way for the brand’s exciting new era of innovation and production. Non-chill filtered and natural in colour, Bladnoch Vinaya is matured in a unique combination of first-fill bourbon and sherry casks, a process which creates notes of fresh apple, sweet floral grass and hints of chocolate.
