Blackadder - Independent bottler

• Type: Independent bottler
• Location: Edinburgh
• Founded: 1995
• Owner: Ian MacLeod Distillers (in partnership with Blackadder)
• Distinctive feature:
  • Blackadder purchases whiskies from various distilleries and bottles them without colouring or chill filtration
  • Known for single cask releases, limited editions and cask strength bottlings
  • Has ranges such as “Raw Cask” and “Old Man of Hoy”, beloved by collectors and whisky enthusiasts
  • Not tied to a single distillery, but famous for preserving the whisky’s original characteristics

💡 Fun fact: Because Blackadder often bottles completely unprocessed, you can taste the “true” character of a distillery, including the natural colour and strength of the cask.
