The Black Bottle Double Cask is a distinguished release from Black Bottle's Alchemy Series, which explores creative barrel finishes. This expression combines malt whiskies matured in Spanish sherry casks with grain whiskies aged in red wine casks, resulting in a bold and fruit-forward profile.


Tasting notes include aromas of blackcurrant, Seville orange, and walnut, with flavors of cherry, raspberry, vanilla cream, and a touch of brown sugar and ginger on the palate. It finishes with hints of toffee and red berries, complemented by a subtle smoky touch.

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​.
