Black Bull Kyloe Peated (Duncan Taylor) 70cl, 50%

Description

Black Bull Kyloe Peated (Duncan Taylor) 70cl, 50% is a smoky blended Scotch whisky from Duncan Taylor, bottled at a robust 50% ABV in a 70cl format. The official Duncan Taylor page presents it as part of the Black Bull Kyloe range, while retailer and database sources identify this bottling as the Peated Edition / Peated Finish release.

This is the 2023 edition of Black Bull Kyloe Peated, described by both your site and Master of Malt as a smoky blend of malt and grain Scotch whisky with a higher proportion of malt, bottled without chill-filtration. That higher malt content helps give it a fuller, more characterful style than many standard blends, while the peated influence adds bonfire smoke, char, and coastal savouriness. The point about it feeling fuller than many standard blends is an inference based on the published higher-malt description and the tasting profile.

The peated side of the whisky appears to come from casks that previously held peated whisky. The Whisky Exchange says it was matured in casks that had held peated whisky, and Whiskybase lists the cask type as an ex-peated cask finish. That gives the whisky a profile built around toasted oak, orchard fruit, sea salt, brown sugar, and smoky embers rather than heavy sherry richness or dense sweetness.

Why Choose Black Bull Kyloe Peated (Duncan Taylor)

This is a bold and approachable smoky blend that offers more punch and flavour than a standard 40% blended Scotch. It combines peated character, higher strength, and a fuller malt-led style in a bottle that works well for both everyday smoky drinking and customers exploring peated whisky beyond entry level. The point about it offering more punch than a standard 40% blend is an inference based on the 50% ABV and the higher-malt description.

Collector’s Note

This is not a rare collector bottle in the single-cask sense, but it has stronger enthusiast appeal than an ordinary blend because it combines the Black Bull name, a 50% ABV bottling strength, and a clearly smoky peated-finish identity. It also carries formal competition recognition, with IWSC listing a Silver award in 2023 for Black Bull Kyloe Peated Finish Blended Scotch Whisky.

For customers who follow Duncan Taylor’s Black Bull range, this works as a more specialised and peat-driven alternative to the standard Kyloe bottling. The point about it being more specialised than the regular Kyloe is an inference based on the naming, cask treatment, and tasting profile.
