Raw Cask Series
Blackadder's leading brand, which is the key focus of their company, is their internationally-acclaimed Raw Cask whisky. These are whiskies from the old school, as they would have been drawn from a cask behind a bar in Scotland back in the 1800s. This was before whisky was chill filtered or heavily filtered – a process which removes a lot of the naturally-occurring oils and esters from the whisky, which is where the flavours are held. To prove that they do not filter their Raw Cask whiskies, you will discover some of the cask sediment in every bottle – this is their assurance of its completely natural and ‘raw’ state. It is the King of Single Casks!
