Blended Scotch Whisky - Black Bull
INTRODUCING BLACK BULL: This special blend is a marriage of the finest single malt and single grain whiskies produced in Scotland.
The whiskies were vatted together in the 1970s, just after distillation, and matured in sherry casks for a minimum of 30 years, resulting in this deluxe premium rare blend.
Black Bull contains 50% malt whisky and 50% grain whisky and has not been altered by chill-filtration or colorant — it is completely natural.
The Black Bull blend was originally trademarked on October 24, 1933 by George Willshire & Co Ltd. The name subsequently was assigned to Duncan Taylor & Co Ltd after its takeover of the company in 2001.
Black Bull 30yo won the award for best non-Speyside whisky at the Whisky Shop Dufftown's Independent Bottlers Challenge at the 2009 Spirit of Speyside Festival. The competition was judged in a blind tasting by the festival visitors. Mike Lord from the Whisky Shop Dufftown stated that "Personally I think Black Bull is a fabulous whisky, full of character and flavour. It was certainly one of my festival highlights."

Nose: fantastically rich a real mish-mash of fruit, barley, smoke and, of course, oak...really has hit the bulls eye. Taste: one of the creamiest-textured deliveries I've come across this year. Again the smoke leads, but there is so much else sloshing around in these soft oils; the boubony liquorice in the middle ground is sublime. Finish: long with a real tapering spiciness amid the molasses and vanilla. Balance: this pedigree Black Bull doesn't pull its horns in. 93 points - Jim Murray's 2010 Whisky Bible |
