Black Bottle Double Cask - Alchemy Series 70cl Whisky
Customer Rating
“Having drunk Black Bottle for several years, I approached the Double Cask with confidence and high hopes. I was not disappointed. Melding the deep redolence of Malt and Sherry with the sharper Grain and Red Wine makes for a potent mix, and I'm not simply talking about it's 46.3%. If this is what the Alchemy Series can do, I look forward to the others. Bring it on. Quite simply, if you don't buy this, then all the more for me. ”

Description
One of two initial releases in the Black Bottle Alchemy Series, Double Cask brings together malt whiskies finished in Spanish sherry casks with grain whisky aged in red wine casks. Boasting heavy red fruit influence, though well balanced by subtle whiffs of toasted sugar and savoury nuts, this should make for a great late evening dram. A great start to the Black Bottle Alchemy Series, alongside the Island Smoke expression.

Blackcurrant, damson, Seville orange, walnut and coffee cake.

Cherry and raspberry, with a layer of vanilla cream. Softly spicy and warming.
Finish
Toasted brown sugar, runny toffee, a final hint of red berry brightness.
