Black Bull 40 Batch #3

Country: Scotland

Region:

Type: Blended Scotch

Bottler: Duncan Taylor

ABV: 41.6%

Score: 94 Points

One of the oldest Blended Scotches on the market, and the nose in this batch is dusty with notes of old leather, apricot, plums, figs, and a touch of smoke. The taste is creamy and smooth with lemon and orange citrus notes, leather, pipe tobacco, vanilla, and subtle touches of plums and figs. The finish is rich, long, and complex with a good balance of dried fruits, subtle spices, and a hint of smoke. (January, 2013)
