Bladnoch
distillery has joined forces with the
prominent wine and spirits distributor
Enotria&Coe in a strategic move to
amplify the growth of its single malt
whisky brand across the UK.
Bladnoch, Scotland's southernmost
distillery, has joined forces with the
prominent wine and spirits distributor
Enotria&Coe in a strategic move to
amplify the growth of its single malt
whisky brand across the UK.
Under a comprehensive three-year
agreement, Bladnoch will collaborate
closely with Enotria&Coe to broaden
the distillery's core product range into
new accounts across its domestic market.
In the upcoming months, the tandem of
Bladnoch and Enotria&Coe will
synergise efforts to extend the brand's
presence across all channels within the
UK, with a particular emphasis on
premium on-trade establishments,
independent wholesalers, and prestigious
retail outlets.
With roots dating back to 1817, Bladnoch
stands as the oldest privately owned
Scotch whisky distillery globally. Its
esteemed legacy has undergone a
renaissance in recent times under the
stewardship of current owner David
Prior, who acquired Bladnoch in 2015,
becoming the first Australian
entrepreneur to possess a Scotch whisky
distillery. Guiding the distillery's
taste-centric approach to whisky
production is master distiller Dr. Nick
Savage.
Today, Bladnoch whiskies are accessible
in over 40 markets worldwide, spanning
countries such as Australia, Taiwan, and
the United States.
Glen Gribbon, CEO at Bladnoch, said:
"Our proposition to create a bold
Galloway spirit with a proud heritage is
unique, and as a result we have seen
demand for Bladnoch grow at pace in
recent years.
"Enotria&Coe prioritises building
strong, long-standing relationships with
customers and producers, an ethos which
aligns seamlessly with ours, given
Bladnoch distillery’s 207-year history.
We look forward to beginning our journey
with Enotria&Coe’s distribution team to
expand our customer base and help more
consumers discover our signature Lowland
style."
Ants Rixon, managing director at
Enotria&Coe, said:
"As part of our strategy to grow a
small, but perfectly formed spirits
brands agency portfolio, we are
delighted to announce our exclusive
partnership with Bladnoch in the UK.
"The company’s ethos of embracing
history and learning from it, innovating
at all levels and aspiring to always do
better (in partnership) resonates very
clearly with what we are both trying to
achieve.
"Our teams are excited to be working
together and we can’t wait to showcase
Bladnoch at our Annual Tasting on Monday
26th February."
Bladnoch's partnership with Enotria&Coe, established as of February 1, 2024,
follows the appointment of Bladnoch's
inaugural brand ambassador.
Renowned actor Mark Rannoch, known for
his roles in the globally acclaimed TV
series "Outlander," officially joined
Bladnoch in January. He made his debut
appearance at Bladnoch's first Burns
Supper and is set to play a pivotal role
in promoting the brand on a global
scale.
 Bladnoch's flagship whisky, Vinaya,
derives its name from the Sanskrit term
for respect and gratitude, paying homage
to the distillery's founding visionaries
who paved the way for its exciting new
chapter.
The distillery's core line-up also
features Liora, Samsara, Alinta,
Bladnoch 11 Year Old, Bladnoch 14 Year
Old, Bladnoch 19 Year Old, and Bladnoch
30 Year Old expressions.
Amidst this era of innovation, Dr. Nick
Savage spearheads a pipeline of creative
endeavours, including The Dragon Series.
This collection comprises five
exceptional single malt whiskies that
celebrate the inherent unpredictability
and captivating beauty of whisky
craftsmanship.
Handcrafted using the pristine waters of
the River Bladnoch, which meanders
alongside the distillery, Bladnoch
whiskies are non-chill filtered to
ensure the purest flavours come to the
forefront.
