Glen Scotia whiskies are known for their unique flavor profiles, often reflecting the maritime influence of the Campbeltown region. The whiskies can exhibit a balance of fruity, malty, and smoky notes, with hints of brine and saltiness. This distinctive flavor profile sets Glen Scotia whiskies apart from those produced in other regions of Scotland.

The Raw Cask series is whisky as it always was. Whisky as it used to be. Every bottle contains its share of the CASK SEDIMENT and NATURAL OILS AND FATS that might otherwise be left behind when filling a cask-strength whisky straight from the cask.

Distillery Notes

Blackadder International was established 1995 by Robin Tucek who, together with daughter Hannah and son Michael run the family business

The Blackadder Raw Cask whiskies are complete cask whiskies bottled containing cask sediment.

DISTILLERY STORY

Blackadder’s philosophy is very simple – they believe that the Cask is King. Sixty to seventy percent of the flavors in a whisky are taken up slowly from the cask as the spirit lies maturing in the warehouse. The action of changing temperature draws the spirit in and out of the cask.
A family operation started and piloted by whisky legend Robin Tucek, they sell to a few limited countries around the world, primarily Tiawan, Japan, the USA and Sweden.

Blackadder was established in 1995 by Robin Tucek who runs the family business with his daughter Hannah and son Michael. Blackadder International gets its name from fugitive 17th-century preacher, John Blackadder. He is famous for preaching against the evils of alcohol.

Hannah Tucek states that the Blackadder International company will always be family-run. Each of the three owner-operators brings something unique to the table. Michael Tucek used to be a chef. He uses his familiarity with a wide range of aromas and flavors to write all tasting notes. Michael feels that “our sense of smell is the most direct sense to our brain and also our most complex. It’s proven that once you go over three aroma compounds mixed together, everything is subjective and becomes very personal. Every aroma can evoke a different memory in each of us and we build up our aroma library as we grow. By not being afraid to say what we sense and share it, we can all learn something from each other.” Like Michael, Hannah grew up around whisky and has come to appreciate whisky at its pure state. Her father and brother joke that she is the one that’s really in charge.

Every cask is unique, with its own fingerprint. This is why they bottle most of their whiskies from single casks. They don’t believe in chilling or otherwise heavily filtering their whiskies, and they never, repeat never, add caramel coloring or flavoring to their spirits. They have always believed the personalities of their whiskies are colorful enough. Their raw cask is famous for the barrel char in each bottle.
