Black Bull 21 Year Old 70cl, 50%

Description

Black Bull 21 Year Old 70cl, 50% is a mature blended Scotch whisky from Duncan Taylor that delivers the brand’s signature bold style with extra age, depth, and structure. Bottled at 50% ABV and matured in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks, this 21-year-old expression is designed to offer more richness and concentration than a standard blend while still keeping the powerful Black Bull identity intact.

This expression features a high proportion of Highland whiskies, along with some Speyside whisky and a touch of Islay, and is built to a 55% malt-to-grain ratio. That composition gives it a profile that feels fuller, weightier, and more characterful than many traditional blends, with fruit, spice, sweetness, and a subtle regional complexity all working together. The point about it feeling fuller than many standard blends is an inference based on the stated malt ratio, regional make-up, and bottling strength.

The tasting style leans confidently into fresh orchard fruit, browned sugar sweetness, baking spice, and rich vanilla, making this a very strong option for customers who enjoy classic blended Scotch with proper age and body. It is a bottle that sits comfortably between everyday drinkability and more premium blended whisky territory. The point about that positioning is an inference based on its age statement, ABV, and retailer presentation.
