Black Bottle Scotch 750ml
| Description: | Black Bottle is an Islay fan's dream - and the perfect introduction to the whiskies of Islay for the less. adventurous. Black Bottle is, according to the distillers, the only blended Scotch to include all seven Islay malts - a total of 45% Islay with the rest from Aberdeenshire distilleries. First Glance: a lovely, pure, clear amber. On the Nose: Black Bottle is the quintessence of that 1972 Deep Purple song, \"Smoke on the Water,\" as sea breezes waft burning peat from the glass. Barley lingers. On the Tongue: Ashes to ashes. some less forgiving palates consider Islay malts to taste like cigarette ashes; more forgiving find it to be purely peaty. Black Bottle has a far less pronounced smoky note than the southern Islay single malts, but it is certainly present. Smoke character notwithstanding, this is a very complex whisky, bold and subdued at the same time. A slight sweetness offsets some of the sting, leaving room for the oak-and-sherry flavor of the aging casks. Region Description. \"Blended Scotch\" is whiskey from Scotland produced using mixed grains and single malt, normally from more than one distillery. |
