Black Bull 12 Year Old Scotch Whisky
George Willsher was a man who didn’t conform to the norm. He did things differently. He took risks and wasn’t afraid to go against those who told him things wouldn’t work. When he conjured the idea for Black Bull in his blending room at his grocery and spirits shop in Dundee in 1864, he hit upon a concept. That concept was for a high strength, high malt content blend that was bold and different. The formula that he created was for 50 percent of the blend to be made up of single malt whisky, for 50 percent of the blend to be made up of single grain whisky and for the bottling strength to be 100 proof. Whilst all the others were trying to conform to a certain style, George Willsher did things his own way, and today we stick by that philosophy. We are proud to say we are still independently owned which gives us the freedom to keep a fresh approach and to offer something different.
Our 12-year-old, charges at you and shakes you up a bit, but then leaves you with a realisation that this is what blended Scotch whisky should be like, a bit of rough and tumble with a silky smooth ending. We take robust and rich Highland and Speyside malt whiskies, matured in refill ex-sherry European Oak butts and refill ex-bourbon American Oak hogsheads, and blend them with lowland grain, matured in refill ex-bourbon American Oak barrels, in a ratio of 50% malt to 50% grain and bottled at a powerful 50% abv to give you the ultimate experience. Grab it by the horns, hold on tight and enjoy the ride!
