Boldly smoky and sweet. Blazing oak rips through dry woodsmoke with honey, sea-salt and charred toffee.
Black Bottle's secret recipe is still inspired by the original one crafted by Gordon Graham, made with a high proportion of malts.
Black Bottle features a shovelful of peated malts from the hallowed isle of Islay (including super-smoky Moine from Bunnahabhain), balanced-out with unpeated malts and ex-bourbon-cask-matured grains.
We use a mix of medium and heavily charred casks, scorched so hot that the wood is blackened and cracks like alligator skin, releasing natural sugars that caramelise to balance the smoke with the perfect sweetness.
We make Black Bottle with malts matured in Virgin Oak (casks that have contained nothing else), extracting sweet vanilla and coconut flavours to deliver even more depth and character.
