Under the watchful eye of Ian Mac Millan (Master Blender), Black Bottle evokes the tradition & legacy of the Graham's. The focus on Islay is no longer as it confused blended & malt Scotch drinkers alike. The new liquid retains the rich distinctiveness & is a more balanced, smoother finished whisky, married together in virgin oak casks giving a slightly sweeter taste. Nose: Fresh & floral with freshly sawn oak aromas. Spicy with hints of smoke. Palate: Silky, mellow & fruity with balanced smoky / peaty flavours then sweet oak & heather honey. Finish: Soft, elegantly spicy, nutmeg, pepper & a gentle lingering smokiness.
