[Producer] Blackadder [About the Producer] 
Blackadder was founded in 1995 by Robin Tucek and all Blackadder whiskies are Robin Tucek's personal selection. Blackadder believes in bottling only whiskies that are completely natural Robins challenge, is to select and bottle only individual casks as naturally as possible. To ensure this they only give their whiskies a light filtration to remove any cask particles that may otherwise get into the bottle. Blackadder Raw Cask whiskies, however, are completely unfiltered. Most malt whiskies bottled by major distillery owners are a marriage of several different casks. These big cask vattings are then often chill-filtered and colored with the addition of varying amounts of caramel before being bottled. Chill-filtration - when the spirit is chilled to freezing point or below prior to bottling - is done to remove any cloudiness in the Whisky. Unfortunately, it also removes many of the natural fats and oils, which detracts from the natural character of the drink. The more a whisky is chilled when filtering the greater the proportion of fats and esters removed. The natural flavor congeners gather around these fats, and the overall quality tends to suffer. All Blackadder whiskies are single cask bottlings. Each cask is chosen to represent one of the very best examples of its type and age. No two casks of whisky are ever exactly alike, because the type of oak used and the conditions under which it is stored will both influence the ultimate spirit produced. Blackadder whiskies therefore offer the widest possible variety of singular taste experiences. Blackadder believes in bottling only whiskies that are completely natural - thus keeping alive the centuries old traditions by which they are first lovingly distilled and then carefully aged over the years they spend silently maturing in cask.
