A classic, first produced during the 1930s. Duncan Taylor took the helm in 2001 and continues to blend Black Bull from equal measures of malt and grain whisky. This is the more recently released 12 year old expression and we're thrilled to announce it picked up a Gold Medal at the 2011 International Wine and Spirit Competition!
Sweetness, cereals, berry fruits, nutty, tangy, spices, cocoa.
Thick and rounded. Nutty and soft with orchard fruits and cream.
Thick and fruity, hint of under-ripe fruits now, creamy.
Excellent drop, very smooth and full of flavours
Berry, nuts, spice on the nose with smooth roundness with lingering fruity finish
Is this whisky still un-chill filtered? It is not mentioned on the new black bottle label. Does not taste the same. Less tint compared to previous clear glass bottling. Cheaper sherry casks?
I have been wracking my brain to discern the difference between this bottle I am assessing and the previous ones I have drunk. Firstly, this is put up in a black shaded bottle as opposed to a clear version. There is a change in taste between the two. Ok,... ABV - same, check. Sherry casks - same?, check. 12-years-old - same, check. Un-chill Filtered...... yes on the the same canister as before but NOT on the bottle! I smell a rat and think this is it. Prove me wrong!
As described and some, very smooth and drinkable, very impressed with this dram and I think I’ll get another
