Bladnoch Dragon Series Iteration IV The Ageing

The Bladnoch brand has introduced a limited edition of a new single malt whisky called Dragon Series Iteration. The fourth whisky is called The Ageing. The whisky comes from the Lowland region.

The Dragon Series pays tribute to the timeless struggle between science and nature. Inspired by the dragon curve, a fractional curve in mathematics that arises from a simple origin. With each iteration, as it approaches infinity, unpredictability reigns - until chaos evolves into a natural, magnificent order.

Iteration IV focuses on the longest, most complex, and least understood process of maturation. Barrels filled with new spirit undergo years and decades of interactions with the surrounding environment, creating the unpredictable structure of the whisky to come. Those who store the casks pass them on to the next generation. Seasonal variations in temperature and humidity, type and location of storage provide us with considerable complexity that must be managed. Barrels were sought from the darkest and coldest locations in Bladnoch's warehouses to amplify these effects in The Ageing.

The bottles are bottled at 51,5 % alcohol and come in gift boxes.
