WHISKY AS NATURE INTENDED
Family-owned since 1995, Blackadder represents whisky in its purest form. Founded by whisky expert Robin Tucek and now run alongside his children Hannah and Michael, this independent bottler delivers expressions that would feel at home in a 19th-century Scottish tavern.
THE CASK IS KING
At Blackadder, they follow one simple philosophy: The Cask is King. Unlike commercial distilleries, they never chill-filter or add artificial coloring, allowing up to 70% of the whisky's flavor to develop naturally from the cask. Their signature "Raw Cask" series even contains tiny fragments of barrel char – visible proof of authenticity that whisky connoisseurs treasure.
BOTTLED STRAIGHT FROM THE SOURCE
Each Blackadder release comes from a single, carefully selected cask, creating expressions that are genuinely one-of-a-kind. From their acclaimed Raw Cask series to their innovative Black Snake "venoms" finished in sherry casks, every bottle represents a unique moment in whisky-making that will never be replicated.
DISCOVER THE DIFFERENCE
What makes Blackadder special isn't just what they add – it's what they don't take away. The sediment floating in your glass isn't an imperfection; it's the signature of traditional craftsmanship. Each sip delivers the authentic character of whisky as it was meant to be enjoyed: unfiltered, undiluted, and unapologetically unique.
TASTE THE TUCEK FAMILY TRADITION
When you choose Blackadder, you're experiencing whisky selected by one of the most respected families in independent bottling. Robin, Hannah, and Michael personally taste each cask, bottling only when it achieves their exacting standards. The result? A dram that tells the true story of Scottish whisky-making tradition.
