  • 333 bottles produced
  • 59% ABV

Chimera is a new range of BLACKADDER Vatted Malt Whiskies.

In mythology a Chimera was a monstrous creature made up of multiple animals. Don't worry though, we at Blackadder haven't gone mad ! Today’s Chimera is a single organism made of mixed species, the result of which is often breathtaking. As we are best known for our single cask bottlings, we felt Chimera would be the perfect name for this exciting range of exclusive blended malt whiskies. All Chimera are vatted together for extra aging after which they are bottled from the individual single casks in which their constituent malt whiskies have been married together.

No two Chimeras will ever be the same; from the sources of the constituent whiskies to the fingerprints left by the individual casks.

Chimera 01 is a mix of four different Single Malt Whiskies. One is a Single Islay from refill cask, One is from First Fill ex Bourbon cask, one is a Sherry Cask Highland and one is a Sherry Cask Speyside.

We have to use the horrible term Blended Malt to keep it legal but we prefer to call this beautifully crafted whisky a Vatted Malt.

Chimera will never be the same, always different. Even as you enjoy your first dram you will notice changing sensations from sip to sip. Chimera - taste and enjoy the difference!



Blackadder Peat Reek 10 Year Islay Single Malt Scotch...$159.99 / 700ml

Blackadder's Peat Reek is an exclusive 10 year old Islay single malt scotch whisky. This exclusive USA release is a Glass Revolution Dram Hunter selection.
Peat Reek is the smell of burning peat, the favours of which are imparted to malting barley as it is slowly dried while the smoky reek of the peat is drawn over it. For Blackadder Peat Reek, we select only casks of whisky produced using malted barley that has been heavily impregnated with the phenols and creosols of a gently-smouldering peat fire. On the front label, you will see that this offering has an official analysis of 20 PPM -which lets you know just how peaty your dram is!

Peat Reek is the smell of burning peat, the flavours of which are imparted to malting barley as it is slowly dried while the smoky reek of the peat is drawn over it. For Blackadder Peat Reek, we select only casks of whisky produced using malted barley that has been heavily impregnated with the phenols and creosols of a gently-smouldering peat fire.
Peat Reek Embers are specially-selected casks from our already well-known Peat Reek portfolio. These are casks that we feel stand out from amongst a selection of which we are already very proud. This in no way means we think they are better than others in the Peat Reek selection. All have the heavily-peated quality that is a hallmark of Peat Reek, but some of the Embers range have been given cask finishes selected to help further complement the whisky. As with the burning embers of a fire, the finish lingers long after the last sip.
