Black Bull Kyloe Rum Finish (Duncan Taylor) 70cl, 50%
Tasting Notes
Colour: Light gold. This is an inference based on retailer imagery and whisky style rather than a formally published official colour note.
Nose: Toasted notes of coconut and oak are joined by juicy tropical fruits, vanilla, and a dusting of icing sugar.
Palate: Biscuity malt and rich brown sugar sweetness, with candied citrus balancing herbaceous notes of mint in the depths.
Finish: Marzipan, toasted nuts, oaken vanilla, and sweet orchard fruit, with pepper, marmalade, and a touch of ginger.
Description
Black Bull Kyloe Rum Finish (Duncan Taylor) 70cl, 50% is a rich blended Scotch whisky from Duncan Taylor, bottled at a robust 50% ABV and given a finish in Caribbean rum casks. That rum-cask finishing adds tropical sweetness and spice to the Black Bull Kyloe style, pushing it in a fruitier and more exotic direction while still keeping the fuller-bodied house character intact.
The official Duncan Taylor tasting note points toward tropical fruit salad, coconut, melon, sugary fruit pastilles, sugarcane, candy floss, and vanilla sugar on the nose, followed by creamy texture, light brown sugar, crisp apple, citrus, and fresh mint on the palate. That gives the whisky a sweeter and more playful profile than the regular Kyloe, with the rum finish adding extra softness and lift rather than overwhelming the blend. The point about it feeling softer than the regular Kyloe is an inference based on the published rum-finish description and tasting notes.
This is the kind of bottle that works especially well for customers who enjoy sweeter cask influence, tropical notes, and higher-strength blends without moving into heavily peated or heavily sherried territory. Whiskybase identifies it as a Rum Finish release at 50% ABV in 700ml format, with barcode 5056510006594.
