I'm a big fan of this indie bottler having had a number of excellent bottlings from them.
Although I can find the occasional bottle either in physical stores or online, I have never found someone who has a truly wide range on offer.
Does anyone know any good retailers for this brand? |

I have had a couple of good bottlings from Blackadder in the past myself, your right, you never seem to see a wide range available from any shop. I suspect they don't bottle a large amount of whisky each year.
I see that their web site is down at the moment http://www.blackadder.nu/ with a coming soon message, perhaps they plan to start selling direct online from their own web site.
The Green Welly Stop online shop usually has a choice of a few Blackadder whiskies. |

Yup, big fan of the Green Welly too so had spotted their stock The Blackadder website has been down / awaiting update pretty much since I started drinking whisky so not holding out too much hope there.
I suspect you may be right on the limited outturn - I also think it might be primarily targeted at export as I always seem to see more stock abroad. |

| I don't think Blackadder has ever had a big selection of whiskies available, at least not here in the UK, I think a lot of what they bottle goes to Europe. |

There is some info on Blackadder here http://www.scotchmaltwhisky.co.uk/blackadder.htm
I am not sure what is happening with the Blackadder web site, it has been down for some time. The last info I had on the bottler was they still bottled around 100 bottles per year and that their main markets are Sweden, Germany and Japan. _________________ There's no bad whisky. Just good whisky and better whisky. |

| When Blackadder come out with a new run I always have a look at the Gauntleys of Nottingham website. They usually have a good selection. |

| Vintage House Soho probably has around thirty different expressions in stock just now. Even a Peated Amrut! |
