Whisky - Blackbottle Blend 40%
Black Bottle whisky has the distinction of containing malts from each of the 7 Islay distilleries and is an old but not known brand outside the west of Scotland. Bunnahabhain is at the blends malt heart as it is a sister brand to the Islay distillery.
Nose: A wif of smoke a sales the nostrils on opening the bottle but once in the glass sweet granes take over. Oats and Laphroaigy peat immerge and let you know this is something a bit special. Wait then Rice Crispy cakes come through.
Pallet: sweetness set on a bed of grain withsmoky honey. No harsh notes. A nice smokiness cuts through the sweetness and grain.
Finnish: like a good blend its reasonably short and encourages another sip.
Comment: Something to sip on a winter evening and enjoy.
Score: 70% a cracking standard blend bettering Bells ETC but a bit more costly.
