Black Bottle Scotch Whisky

Black Bottle was first created in 1879 by Gordon Graham of Aberdeen and was initially sold in pottery bottles and jars. Later a solid black glass bottle, specially designed in the shape of a pot-still, was imported from Germany. However, the outbreak of the Great War in 1914 forced the company to source new bottles and since then Black Bottle has been packaged in a green glass bottle, with the same distinctive pot-still shape.

Over the years, this rich, golden whisky has earned an excellent reputation with its distinctive full-bodied and delightfully smoky flavour and smooth, warming finish. This bold taste sets it apart from most other whiskies. The expert craft of combining only the finest single malts from Islay with mainland malt and grain whiskies has resulted in one of the smoothest, most balanced of Scotch whiskies.

Black Bottle is the only Scotch whisky that contains all of the revered malts from Scotland's most renowned whisky producing island, Islay and is regarded by critics and whisky lovers alike as a truly exceptional dram. Black Bottle's distinctive bold taste and unique packaging immediately differentiates it from other whiskies.
