Description
Bladnoch Distillery, founded in 1817, features buildings primarily from an expansion in 1878, with some later alterations. The distillery consists of single, two, and three-storey productive, warehouse, and office ranges that create two irregular courtyards. The construction is of whinstone rubble with stugged granite dressings.
The malt barn, a three-storey former malting house located to the north, has nearly regular windows on each floor, a hayloft door on the first floor, and a later machinery door added. It includes a gabled bay with a hayloft door in the gablehead to the north. The kiln, which has a pagoda roof, is integrated with the malt barn to the east and features a gabled dormer above the hayloft door, flanked by windows, and a decorative bell-cast lead ventilator with a deep slated neck and ball finial.
Adjoining two-storey barns include a west range, likely an earlier malt barn, which has regular windows on the west elevation and low ground floor windows on the east elevation, with first-floor windows positioned just under the eaves. To the southeast is a two-storey mash-house with a piended roof and a steel-framed draft tank shelter on stilts in the re-entrant angle. A single-storey office range is located to the south, along with a later, free-standing, centre-gabled, two-storey, three-bay office to the southwest, which was formerly the manager's house, dated 1878. This office is entered from the east, with a falling ground leading to a lower floor on the west elevation. The office features modern windows and an octagonal plan.
The L-plan two-storey warehouse ranges to the north and east form the second courtyard. The east range has gabled bays on both the east and west sides, with a hayloft door breaking the eaves in a gabled dormerhead to the south. There is a variety of glazing patterns, including some small-pane, top-hopper, pivot, and casement windows in original openings, alongside later replacements with modern glazing. Some window grilles have been retained, and a variety of roofing materials are present, predominantly grey graduated slates with ridge ventilators.
Inside, there are six wooden washbacks still in place, along with two ball-necked steam-fluted copper stills and two spirit safes.
