Description
Black Bull Kyloe Sherry Finish (Duncan Taylor) 70cl, 50% is a rich blended Scotch whisky from Duncan Taylor, bottled at a robust 50% ABV and finished in ex Pedro Ximénez and oloroso sherry casks. This sherry finishing gives the whisky extra depth and a fruit-led sweetness, while keeping the fuller-bodied Black Bull Kyloe style intact.
This expression takes the regular Black Bull Kyloe in a darker, more dessert-like direction, with generous notes of sherried fruits, honeyed sweetness, and cakey spice. It feels rounder and richer than the standard Kyloe, making it especially appealing for customers who enjoy sweeter cask influence without losing the structure of a higher-strength blend. The point about it feeling rounder than the regular Kyloe is an inference based on the stated sherry finish and the published tasting notes.
Retail tasting notes also show that the whisky carries more than just simple sweetness. Alongside the sherry influence, there are orchard fruits, milk chocolate, stewed plums, red apples, vanilla, oak spice, caramel, and gingerbread-like warmth, giving it a profile that is both approachable and characterful.
Why Choose Black Bull Kyloe Sherry Finish (Duncan Taylor)
This is a strong choice for customers who want a richer blended Scotch with obvious sherry-cask character and a solid 50% ABV. It combines Pedro Ximénez and oloroso finishing, fruit-led sweetness, spice, and creamy texture in a bottle that feels more indulgent than a standard everyday blend.
