Description
The Black Bottle Blended Scotch Whisky in a practical 0.05 litre miniature bottle is an excellent choice for whisky lovers who want to try this unique blend for the first time or enjoy it in a small, handy size. At 40% by volume, this blended Scotch is a harmonious combination of smoky and sweet notes from carefully selected single malts and grain whiskies from across Scotland.
The history of Black Bottle dates back to 1879, when the Graham brothers in Aberdeen realised their vision of a perfectly balanced blended Scotch whisky. Today, this whisky is produced with a modern interpretation that combines both peaty Islay notes and the soft, spicy elegance of the Highlands and Speyside. Its smooth, smoky profile sets it apart from many other blended whiskies and makes it an interesting choice for connoisseurs who can’t decide between classic and smoky whiskies.
Thanks to its miniature size, this whisky is ideal as a tasting bottle, for travelling or as a special gift in a whisky tasting set.
