Founded in 1995 by Robin Tucek, Blackadder has built its reputation around a simple philosophy: to present whisky in its most natural and unaltered form. Now operated alongside his children, Michael and Hannah, the company remains one of the most respected names in independent bottling.

Blackadder’s flagship Raw Cask series is famous for preserving the whisky exactly as it comes from the cask. Tiny wood particles and natural sediment are intentionally left in the bottle, reflecting the traditional character of whisky before modern filtration methods became common. This distinctive approach aims to capture the spirit’s original texture, flavor, and authenticity.

This bottling features spirit from Ardmore Distillery, a Highland distillery renowned for combining a creamy, full-bodied character with gentle peat smoke. Ardmore’s long-necked stills contribute to a softer and more elegant spirit, while traditional peat firing adds layers of earthy smoke and subtle wood-fired complexity.

Bottled at cask strength after 11 years of maturation, Blackadder Raw Cask Ardmore 2010 showcases the distillery’s signature balance of sweet malt, creamy texture, and refined smokiness. Unfiltered and uncompromising, it offers whisky enthusiasts a rare opportunity to experience Ardmore in one of its purest and most characterful forms.
