Bladnoch Samsara Single Malt. ABV: 46.7%. Lowlands, Scotland. Tasted at Whisky a Day HQ, $98 (bottle).
Aaaaand we’re back! After a bit of a break, Whisky a Day is back and kicking the feet up this Friday afternoon with a delicious Bladnoch Samsara to start the weekend.
Colour: Polished gold.
Nose: Creamy; fresh baked lemon cakes or pastries, like you’ve just walked into a patisserie.
Palate: Honey, lavender and bubblegum. Soft oak and a touch of pepper.
Finish: Sweetness of stewed strawberries and raspberry-flavoured boiled lollies; balanced out by a savouriness of oak, juicy beef jerky and a hint of leather.
Comments: A beautifully balanced dram; a perfect opener for the weekend and/or an evening of making a serious dent into the whisky collection.
Bladnoch, one of my favourites, but with this kind of marketing I m done buying or endorsing their current wares. Thinking about pulling my review of Samsara off my site.
Hi there, not sure what you’re referring to regarding Bladnoch’s marketing, I don’t pay too much attention to that personally. I enjoyed this one enough to go and buy a second bottle (which has also quickly emptied)…tasty juice in my opinion!
