Description
The Black Bottle Smoke & Dagger is a particularly peaty and smoky bottling of the legendary Black Bottle blended Scotch whisky. This edition is aimed at lovers of intense, deep whiskies with a strong smoky flavour. It is distilled and matured using a selection of peated single malts and grain whiskies, which are blended in a unique cask composition. The result is a multi-layered blend with a spicy character, dark flavours and a hint of sweetness.
With an alcohol content of 46.3% vol., this whisky offers a powerful but balanced flavour. The Black Bottle Distillers, whose tradition dates back to 1879, are known for their sophisticated blends that combine classic and modern whisky styles. The Smoke & Dagger stands out with its dark, mystical flavour and pays homage to the smoky legends of Scotland.
Tasting NoteColour: Deep gold with amber reflections.
Nose: Intense notes of campfire smoke, toasted wood, dark chocolate and dried fruit.
Flavour: Powerful and full-bodied with peat smoke, spicy oak, espresso and a subtle sweetness of caramel and vanilla.
Finish: Long-lasting, smoky and slightly peppery with an elegant spiciness and a lingering woody note.
The Black Bottle Smoke & Dagger is perfect for drinking straight or with a drop of water to bring out its complex flavours even better. Its intense smoky and woody notes harmonise particularly well with grilled meat, smoked fish or dark chocolate. It also unfolds its depth impressively as a base for smoky cocktails, such as a Smoky Rob Roy or a Peated Old Fashioned. A must for fans of strongly peated whiskies.
