Black Bull 8 year old, 50%

Price: 39 Issue: Spring 2017 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Blended Scotch Whisky

The youngest age statement Bull in the fold, this one has shredded citrus peel, fleshy grapefruit, candied orange peel, and lemon meringue pie. Soft fudge, honey, tart lemon, and buttery pastry with a nip of peppery spice under the tongue complete a satisfying combination. A delicious everyday kind of dram, and I preferred this expression's brightness and attack of the flavors over the 12 year old.
