NEW RAW CASK PEATED RED SNAKE 20 PPM CASK #84, ONLY 260 BOTTLES WORLDWIDE
This peated Red Snake offering derives its unique taste from its first-fill ex-bourbon raw cask. It is rare, with only 260 bottles available worldwide.
This Red Snake, Red Neck whisky comes from one single cask, numbered 84. This unique cask number can be found on the front label of each bottle. The cask has been tested and quality controlled in our warehouse in order to find just the right time for bottling.
Red Snake #84 is a Raw Cask bottling and therefore retains all of the oils, fats and sediments of its unique cask. Red Snake is the sister to Black Snake whisky. As with its older brother, Red Snake only comes from top-class, first-fill ex-Bourbon casks. However, unlike its brother, each Red Snake comes from just one single cask.

DISTILLERY STORY
Blackadder’s philosophy is very simple – they believe that the Cask is King. Sixty to seventy percent of the flavours 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. 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 colouring and flavouring to their spirits. They have always believed the personalities of their whiskies are colourful enough.
