Black Bottle
Black Bottle: Whisky for those with a taste for the unconventional. Master Blender, Gordon Graham, toiled night and day on his new creation.

19th century Scotland. Three brothers in blood and vision. Tea importers and blenders of the exotic. Followed their true passion, to create a whisky like no other. A secret recipe, a black bottle. The rest is history…
A tale even the bard would be proud of. Cheers to
Our closely-guarded secret recipe featuring a greatest hits of Islay malts. A decade of patience. One sophisticated, smoky finish.
With sweet, sea green apple slicing through waves of rich smoke and burnt caramel, Black Bottle 10 is a voyage of discovery. The ultimate winter warming dram.
A Spanish Sherry barrel and a red wine cask walk into a bar, but this fruity dissenter is no joke. Expect big, fruity flavours, walnuts and charred toffee.
Islay, the black heart of the notorious Scottish Isles. Salty, smoky, peated malts meet sweet, smooth, unpeated grain. Non-chill filtered. If you know, you know.

Raise a dram to Gordon Graham, the man who started it all back in 1879.
His relentless pursuit of adventure and alchemy still guides us to this day, and that won’t ever change.
