Blackadder International is a family-run, independent bottling company, established in 1995 by Robin Tucek who now runs the business with his son, Michael, and daughter, Hannah.
Blackadder’s philosophy is very simple – they believe that the cask is king. Sixty to seventy percent of the flavours in a whisky are taken up slowly from the cask as the spirit lies maturing in the warehouse. The action of changing temperature draws the spirit in and out of the cask. Every cask is unique, with its own fingerprint. This is why they bottle most of their whiskies from single casks. Blackadder doesn’t believe in chilling or otherwise heavily filtering their whiskies, and they never, repeat never, add caramel colouring and flavouring to their spirits. They has always believed the personalities of their whiskies are colourful enough.
Blackadder whiskies are sold through carefully-targeted specialist importers and shops worldwide. They are also available in leading bars (including many specialist whisky bars) and restaurants wishing to offer top-end single malts for their customers.
