Black Bottle
Blended Islay Whiskey

A very popular blend in the store although it it is not widely distributed.  blend of Islay malts with some choice single grain whiskies, Black Bottle is little-known for a whisky of this quality. An outstanding value for money and picked up the top prize in its category at the World Whisky Awards 2010.Black Bottle's much lauded taste profile proudly wears its North East heritage on its sleeve. While the taste is now skilfully crafted from the worlds renowned Islay malts, the original blend was cut from the peaty bogs of the Aberdeenshire crofters and washed by the salty seafront warehouses where the Aberdeen fishermen docked. Married within these bullish tastes and lightening the blend is a Speyside sweetness known throughout the world for its delicate footprint. These tastes combine to create a dram that makes no apology for its complex character and consistently tips a wink at its Islay cousins, remembering a time when the fishermen of the North East stowed a Black Bottle in their cabins for a reminder of home.
