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 Smile 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.

Best blackadder selection I've encountered is at Vintage House in Soho.

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.

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!

Thanks for the retailer hints folks - not currently showing much variety but I'll add them to my list Smile
