Product description
Black Bull whisky is the creation of George Willshire, a Dundee grocery and spirits shop owner, in 1864.
George’s lucky number must have been 50, as his blend was 50% single malt, 50% grain and was bottled at 50% abv. The brand is now owned by Duncan Taylor Ltd, who re-presented and expanded the range in 2009. The Black Bulls are currently available for sale aged between 8 and 40 years. The 8-year-old Black Bull presented here is a blend of 50% malt and 50% grain, bottled non-chill-filtered at 50% abv.
Nose: fresh and bold, honeyed breakfast cereal, vanilla, caramel, chocolate milk, strawberry jam, a pinch of pepper and oak.
Taste : caramel, vanilla, apples, orange peel, banana cake, milk chocolate, nuts and a hint of nutmeg.
Finish: quite long and warming, with notes of vanilla, summer fruits, a bit of pepper and oak.
