Whisky writer Michael Jackson rated Bladnoch the highest of the original F&F whiskies and scored it equally to the 1997 Cask Strength release of Mortlach. Bladnoch Distillery was mothballed in 1993, but bottling of Bladnoch Flora and Fauna continued from stock until 2001, which is why its market price has remained lower than the releases of other similarly mothballed F&F distilleries.
We have found no evidence that the Bladnoch F&F was ever released with a cardboard carton.
