Bladnoch’s rich history dates back to 1817, when John and Thomas McClelland were first granted a licence to distil whisky on their Bladnoch farm in Scotland’s Lowlands.
In the ensuing years, Bladnoch Distillery grew and was modernised, cementing its status as “Queen of the Lowlands”.
Australian businessman, David Prior, purchased Bladnoch Distillery in 2015 with a vision to restore it to its former glory.
Shortly after, the distillery resumed production and launched its award-winning range of Bladnoch Single Malts and Pure Scot Blended Whiskies.
Our Visitor Centre opened in the summer of 2019 where we offer a range of distillery tours as well as a gift shop and cafe. Cafe Melba showcases some of the best local produce.
