Bladnoch Talia 26 Year Old - Red Wine Cask Matured

Bladnoch Talia 26 Year Old – Red Wine Cask Matured is a striking and distinctive Lowland single malt from the distillery’s 2020 limited releases. Unlike other expressions in the Talia range, which feature finishing periods, this whisky spent its entire 26-year maturation in American oak red wine casks—an approach that delivers remarkable depth, balance, and fruit-driven complexity.

The result is a beautifully mature whisky with rich, powerful red berry character, underpinned by polished oak and a delicate floral elegance. The nose opens with mature oak and generous red berries, supported by a softly creamy, floral background. On the palate, refined oak leads into dark red berries, liquorice sticks and gentle hints of nutmeg, creating a composed yet expressive profile. The finish is long and satisfying, with a gentle dryness from aged oak and subtle notes of leather lingering gracefully.

Sweet, structured and undeniably elegant, Bladnoch Talia 26 Year Old showcases how extended red wine cask maturation can elevate a whisky without overpowering its spirit character. A superbly mature Lowland single malt, ideal for collectors and those seeking depth, finesse, and beautifully integrated fruit.
