Black Bottle Double Cask – Alchemy Series Blended Scotch Whisky – 70cl
Black Bottle Double Cask is the inaugural release in the Black Bottle "Alchemy" series — a celebrated Islay-leaning blended Scotch finished in oloroso sherry casks.
Black Bottle (founded 1879) is known for its Islay-influenced peated blending style.
A serious craft blended Scotch — neat or with a splash of water.
TASTING NOTES
NOSE
Aromatic and complex — gentle peat smoke, vanilla, sherried dried fruit, ripe orchard fruit, gentle baking spice, dark caramel, and warm sherry oak — distinctive and beautifully composed.
PALATE
Full and rounded — sweet smoke, vanilla cream, sherried dried fruit, honeyed orchard fruit, dark toffee, gentle baking spice, and integrated sherry oak — silky, layered, and harmoniously balanced.
FINISH
Long and warmly smoked — lingering peat, sherried dried fruit, vanilla, dark caramel, soft baking spice, and a warming sherry oak depth fading slowly — distinctive and refined.
ABV: 46.3% ABV
