Black Bull 14 Year Old Peated Blended Scotch Whisky, 70cl

Black Bull 14 Year Old Peated is a small batch blended Scotch whisky that adds age and smoke to the Black Bull range. Bottled at 50% ABV, it combines malt and grain whiskies from across Scotland in a peated blend, with the strength that gives the brand its “100 Proof” label. Wet stones, seaweed and gentle smoke lead into a sweet, spicy palate and a long, tingling finish.

About the brand

Black Bull was established in 1864 by George Willsher in his Dundee shop. Today the whiskies are made by Duncan Taylor, the independent Scotch whisky company based in Huntly, and the label names Black Bull Whisky Co. of Huntly as the blender and bottler. The peated 14 Year Old was described as the final piece of the jigsaw in a family of blended Scotch whiskies.
