    Black Bottle

    Black Bottle whisky is a Scottish whisky that has been around since 1879. It is a blended whisky, made with a mix of different malt and grain whiskies. Black Bottle is known for its smoky flavour, which comes from the use of Islay malt whisky in the blend.

    Black Bottle Blended Scotch whisky was relaunched in 2013, and now features a balanced mix of fruitiness and spice alongside the peaty Islay notes that the brand has been known for. This change in direction is a return to Black Bottle's past, as it is said to have been inspired by what the whisky was like when it was made all the way back in 1879. This has also inspired the new old-style black glass bottle, which gave Black Bottle whisky its name.

    Black Bottle previously had a high percentage of peated Islay whisky featured in the blend. With this relaunched bottling, they're aiming for a blend and flavour reminiscent of Black Bottle whisky from when it was first made in 1879, which means the smokiness is balanced with fruitier notes.

    Smooth Blend

    I live in New Zealand and recently purchased the Black Bottle, I must say I was truly surprised of the smoothness of this blended whiskey the smokiness not overpowering, I will certainly purchase another

    Very nice. Just right for my taste

    JK I am a whisky drinker, have been for some time. I find the island whiskies are too peaty for my liking. My wife was the one who gave me a bottle of Black Bottle and to my surprise I enjoyed it. I have been drinking it ever since. It is a nice gift to give friends when visiting .

    WTH

    What the hell did they do. This is basically Dewars for mixing. The old BB stood by itself as a dram or in a cocktail. Horrid and a shame

    Still a nice wee beastie

    I came to BB some years ago through their support for the Islay Jazz Festival and have never looked back until recently when I heard of their re-formulation and the new bottle. The bottle change is a sad loss but the loss of the hint of peat and seaweed seems to have been largely overcome, maybe by using a more robust Islay malt. I will always be a bit sad at the loss of the Islay origin but will forgive all if they return to their support a jazz and will certainly keep a bottle at the front of the cupboard and drink it neat to enjoy its subtle flavours. Its still the best of blends.
