BEST BLENDED SCOTCH WHISKY 12 YEARS AND UNDER - BLACK BULL 12 YEARS OLD DELUXE BLEND DUNCAN TAYLOR
Duncan Taylor Scotch Whisky are proud to announce that Black Bull 12 year old, our award winning deluxe blended scotch whisky has been crowned ‘Best Blended Scotch Whisky aged 12 years and under’ at the World Whisky Awards 2011.
Tenaciously fending off the competition, Black Bull 12yo impressed the judges with its robust, powerful yet sublimely balanced character to be recognised as the very best in its field, globally.
Stoically Independent and without compromise, Black Bull 12yo is blended at an unusually high ratio of 50% malt to grain whisky.
Released at a muscular 50% abv the blend offers a unique sensory experience and delivers indulgent, uncompromised depth. Like all Duncan Taylor Scotch Whisky, Black Bull 12yo celebrates nature; unfettered by chill filtration and artificial colouring, it allows the character of each carefully selected malt and grain whisky to shine through.
The Black Bull brand has been synonymous with quality and innovation since 1938 when it became the first ever 100 proof blend to be sold in the US. Following a rebranding in 2008, Black Bull’s stature and range has grown, winning critical acclaim and a plethora of awards including the International Wine and Spirits competition, Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible and the New York International Wine and Spirits contest.
