Kurz über die Destillerie
Blackadder is a family-owned independent bottler of Scotch whisky. The company specialises in bottling whiskies at cask strength. A notable characteristic of Blackadder is its 'Raw Cask' series, where whiskies are bottled directly from the cask without chill-filtration or added colouring, often including cask sediment. Their releases include single malt whiskies from various distilleries, as well as specific series such as 'Red Snake' and 'Redneck'.
Geschichte
Blackadder was founded in 1995 by Robin Tucek and John Lamond, who had together published The Malt Whisky File: The Essential Guide for the Malt Whisky Connoisseur in 1987. The duo named their bottling company after the fugitive 17th century preacher John Blackadder, who evaded the authorities for seven years.
Blackadder’s Raw Cask series was launched in 2000, although the following year Lamond left the business.
Tucek’s daughter, Hannah, joined the company in 2005.
