Black Bottle's secret recipe is still inspired by the original one developed by Gordon Graham, made with a high proportion of malts. Black Bottle contains a high proportion of peated malts from the sacred island of Islay (including Bunnahabhain's super-smoked Monk), balanced with unpeated malts and bourbon barrel-aged grains.
Nose: Blueberries, candied ginger, caramel and vanilla shortbread. Mouth: Licorice, dark chocolate, red fruit jam, a hint of chili and ginger. Finish: Chocolate raisins with a touch of caramel.
Nose : Gentle, green and fragrant. Notes of soft vanilla sponge, caramelised apple tart, puff pastry and vanilla ice cream. Palate : Creamy-smooth in texture and sweet in taste. Reminiscent of buttery cakes and creamy vanilla, then crisply acidic with a peppery spice. Finish : A shake of white pepper in the medium-length clean, crisp and nutty-spicy finish.
