Product description
Black Prince blended whisky debuted just before World War II in the offer of the Dutch company Henkes Distillers.
Its name refers to Edward Woodstock, known as the Black Prince (1330-1376), the eldest son of King Edward III. After the war, the brand was acquired by the Bols company, and in the early 1990s the whisky passed to the Burn Stewart Distillers portfolio. Black Prince has always been an export whisky, enjoying some popularity in France, Portugal, Taiwan and South America. Its main components were Imperial, Deanston and Caol Ila, as well as Girvan and North British grain whisky. It is not listed in the current Burn Stewart offer and we do not know if it is still produced.
Nose: mild, caramel, toffee, cereals, honey, apples, peaches, black pepper and a fleeting note of peat smoke in the background.
Palate : barley malt, pepper, licorice, honey, brown sugar, orange peel, some coconut flakes and oak.
Finish: medium long, cereal and peppery, with notes of toffee, caramel, oak, mint leaf and a trace of peat smoke.
