The Bull Is Back
BlackBull was first registered on October 24th, 1933, by George Wilshire & Co Ltd. The blend has been sold for over 70 years in the UK, USA, and Europe. Since 2001 the brand has been owned by Duncan Taylor & Co.
Since the release of BlackBull 30YO in the UK in April, the blend has been on a rampage! We are delighted to have a brand with both international presence and excellent reviews. Check out the bull on the web, www.blackbullwhisky.com

A Unique Blend
50% Malt 50% Grain 50% ABV
 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 and matured in sherry casks for 30 years resulting in this deluxe premium rare blend.
The BlackBull Deluxe Blend began its life in the early 1930s and since that time it has achieved great following from whisky connoisseurs throughout the world for its exquisite taste.

BlackBull is non-chill filtered or colored - it remains completely natural.
Color: Chestnut
Nose: Initially chocolate then a hint of turkish delights, stewed rhubarb and lime pickle. Notes of dark cherries develop with time.
Flavor: Rich sherry notes. A big dram but also gentle at the same time. Again, more chocolate notes and some red fruits.
Finish: A cherry finish with a slight cinnamon note and obvious sherry character, but there is also a faint creamy note in the background.
Comment: Quite simply stunning! |
