Black Bull 55 Years Old, Sir Nick Faldo Collection
More than 80 years after the company was first registered, Duncan Taylor is recognised on the global stage as one of the most innovative and dynamic whisky companies. The company's devotion to the principles of providing exceptional casks for filling has been a key feature of its history and the outstanding portfolio of only the finest Scotch whiskies available.
This exceptional Black Bull 55 Year Old, holds special significance as it is a blend of single grain and single malt both produced at Lochside distillery, which stopped production in 1992.
What made Lochside unique is that it had both Pot Stills and Column Stills equipped in the distillery for use in production. They sold both Single Malt and Single Grain, and in this instance a blend of the two, which has been left to mature without interference for fifity five years in first fill sherry hogsheads.
Limited to 600 bottles this special release is befitting of both the connoisseur and the collector. The 55 Year Old is of a peerless class and Duncan Taylor present to you with pride their premier Black Bull blend.
Tasting notes:
Colour: Dark sherry
Nose: An alpine meadow covered in spring flowers, creme brulee dusted with muscovado sugar. Mint chocolate with gentle herbal notes.
Palate: Rich, dark, dried fruits, chocolate covered raisins, gentle spice with cinnamon to the fore. Rich tobacco and a hint of liquorice. Finish: Rich, nutty, spicy notes from an exceptional sherry cask. Luscious and enticing. Astoundingly fresh and vibrant for a whisky of such age.
