Today, Black Bull is still blended according to the same original formula, with a high percentage of quality malts from Speyside and the Highlands, matured in sherry and bourbon casks, mixed according to a high malt-to-grain ratio, and finally bottled at a robust alcohol strength of 50%. Black Bull 21 is non-chill filtered, allowing the character of each carefully selected 21-year-old whisky to fully express itself, resulting in a unique and exceptional blend in its category.
TASTING NOTES :
COLOUR: Bright gold.
NOSE: Citrus, red apples, tangerines with a touch of caramel.
PALATE: Very lively and fresh with zesty notes. Nutmeg and cloves with the sweetness of vanilla and barley sugars emerging. Excellent balance.
FINISH: Warm pepper, soft nutty notes, and toasted marshmallows to finish. A fantastic expression that reminds us of Christmas.
