Tasted at Saratoga Whiskey Club Tasting # 99 - Glass Revolution Imports, hosted by Raj Sabharwal (@WhiskyRaj) of Glass Revolution Imports (glassrev.com). Founded by Robin Tucek in 1995, Blackadder is an independent bottler known for their “raw casks” which leave all sediment from the cask in the bottle. This was a limited-release single cask offering from an undisclosed distillery (however, it reminded me of Macallan) with 358 bottles. Cask ref: SS01, bottled October 2020. Blackadder Sherry Snake is bottled from First Fill Sherry Butts. Photo courtesy of First Fill Spirits (Saratoga Springs, NY).
