Blackadder is a family-run independent bottler whisky founded in 1995. The company bottles many spirits, such as rum and gin, but is best known for its scotch whiskies like the one we are reviewing today. This 32-year-old blended malt scotch is labeled as "casked as Wardhead." According to Whiskybase, Wardhead is a teaspooned "secret" brand name that "independent bottlers use if they are not allowed to mention the name of the distillery." Wardhead is code for primarily Glenfiddich, teaspooned with just a bit of a different distillery's whisky, perhaps The Balvenie.
