2023

The Black Bottle 10 Year Old is a blended Scotch whisky crafted with a focus on the robust, smoky character of Islay malts. Released in 2020, this expression marks a significant return for Black Bottle, featuring a carefully curated blend of whiskies matured for a decade in American oak casks.


The whisky offers a rich, layered profile with aromas of ripe pear, honey, and vanilla, balanced by hints of smoky spice and oak. On the palate, you'll find a blend of green apple and caramel, finishing with a touch of sea salt and charred embers, making it a unique and well-rounded choice for whisky lovers seeking a peated yet smooth experience.

About Black Bottle

Black Bottle is a historic blended Scotch whisky brand founded by the Graham brothers in Aberdeen, Scotland, in 1879. Initially crafted with a strong influence from Islay malts, Black Bottle developed a reputation for its smoky, bold flavor, which distinguished it from other Scotch blends.


Over the years, the brand evolved, particularly after being acquired by Burn Stewart Distillers in the 1990s, who adjusted its blend to incorporate more Speyside malts for a smoother profile. Today, Black Bottle is known for balancing smoke, spice, and subtle sweetness, making it a distinctive choice in the world of Scotch whiskies​.
