Founded by the McClelland brothers and run by the family for 121 years, Bladnoch has a long history of whisky making. However, its recent past has been marked by limited production and its eventual closure. In 2017, an Australian entrepreneur bought the distillery and recruited a team of whisky industry veterans to bring it back to life.

The distillery is now up and running again, and master distiller Ian MacMillan – a 40+-year veteran of the whisky industry – has been creating a range of expressions from the distillery's stocks of mature whisky. Once again, the distillery is building its reputation as Queen of the Lowlands.
