Black Bull, 40 year old, 40.2%
Price: ● Issue: Fall 2010 ● Reviewer: John Hansell ● Category: Blended Scotch Whisky
A whopping 90% malt and 10% grain whisky. Soft, with the oak remarkably restrained for its age. Soothingly sweet, with toffee apple, vanilla-spiked sponge cake, nougat, butterscotch, sultana, and cut grass. A dash of cinnamon and coconut throughout, with teasing, gentle polished oak on the finish. Deftly balanced and oh, so drinkable.
