Black Bull 12 Year (Duncan Taylor)

Blended — Scotland

Reviewed June 24, 2022 (edited April 15, 2023)
3.0
3.0 out of 5 stars
For $36, it's a solid blend. Lots of fruit, apple, pear, lemon, cherry, with some vanilla, honey. There's also a little bit of a sparkling white wine-type impression I get from this. Not a lot of depth, and it's a little on the hot side. But I wouldn't hesitate much to pick it up again if looking for a fruity Speyside blend with a higher proof.
36.0 USD per Bottle

    Great little blend, this. Black Bull Kyloe is good too.

    @soonershrink Crazy. I’ve never researched, but based on seeing the label I had assumed they would include a fair amount of peat.

    @angstrom I'd put them in the same ballpark. I think it would depend on if you prefer the profile of a fruity Speyside or something with peat. I didn't perceive any peat in the Bull.

    Head to head…does this beat JW Black or CB Glasgow? Seems like it’s playing in the same space.
