Scotland
Blended
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.
Polished oak and porridge with a sprinkle of brown sugar, with cut grass and very subtle smoke in support.
Candied ginger and cigar box, with charred herbs, chocolate spread on brown bread and a drizzle of golden syrup.
Oak spice and honey.
$31.49 - $58.36
Islay is my preferred whisky region but when I'm feeling skint I will happily drink Black Bottle, which includes that island's malts in its blend. I get faintly salty polished oak smoke, chilli, stewed prunes, black pepper and the purple one the Quality Street chocolate tin (a chocolate filled with runny toffee and a hazelnut, for our oversea friends). All this usually to be found for around twenty nicker. It's a steal at this price - about the same as Bells ? No competion.
... thanks to the black bottle you can't see how much is left.
Bought it for partner he love taste and strength lovley drink valve for money .anyone hurry buy this little black bottle you won be disappointed
Good god, this is horrible! I'd only recommend this as a mixer - for something where you need the alcohol of - but can disguse the taste of - this hideous drink. Don't drink neat. It'll put hairs on your eyes.
Quite nice drinking neat, or in tea. but I would like to know is it a 10 or 12 year old
