David Prior is the owner of Bladnoch Distillery, which has launched its ultra-rare Samhla Collection. 

Hold onto your wallets, whisky enthusiasts, because Bladnoch Distillery is unleashing ‘The Samhla Collection’ – a trio of ultra-rare single malts that’ll make your taste buds and your bank account sing in harmony! 

The mastermind behind this whisky extravaganza is none other than an Aussie daredevil, David Prior.

In 2015, the Melbourne entrepreneur and keen surfer became the first-ever Australian to own a Scottish whisky distillery. And it’s not just any distillery, Bladnock is Scotland’s oldest working whisky distillery. 

Now, David Prior is taking the whisky world by storm with ‘The Samhla Collection’ – a tribute to Bladnoch’s journey and innovation.

So, are you ready to see how deep your pockets go? Hold onto your hat and your chequebook, because the prestigious ‘The McClelland,’ distilled in 1966, will set you back a whopping AU$95,500! 

But wait, that’s not all! ‘The Prior,’ from the year 1990, captures David Prior’s visionary spirit and can be yours for just AU$15,000 – a bargain investment in a piece of whisky history.

But don’t worry, mates, if your budget’s more “beer than champagne,” Bladnoch’s got you covered with ‘The Sage.’ Distilled in 2008 – the year David’s daughter, Sage, was born – it’s a steal at AU$7,500. 

‘The Samhla Collection’ is your chance to sip on excellence, innovation, and the spirit of an Aussie maverick. Head over to http://www.bladnoch.com/thesamhlacollection and secure your piece of the whisky pie. 

Cheers to David Prior, the Aussie trailblazer taking Scotch whisky to new heights – one dram at a time!
