The Island of Islay is renowned all over the world for its intensely powerful & charismatic Scotch whiskies. Black Bottle is totally unique in being created from whiskies from all seven of the famous distilleries on Islay. Its spiritual home is the Bunnahabhain distillery in the north-east of the Isl&. Black Bottle was created in 1879 by Gordon Graham & Co. based in Aberdeen. The three Graham brothers
- (Charles Innes, Gordon & David) original business was tea but they switched their attention to whisky blending. Soon the popularity of the whisky spread through the East Coast fishermen who favoured it on long sea journeys. Black Bottle's name came from its original bottle design based on black German glass & echoing the traditional pot whisky still. In 1914, following the outbreak of war, production was switched to green glass as it is to be found today. Black Bottle has long been regarded as one of the smoothest & most balanced of the Scotch Whiskies. The skilful craft of blending only the finest malt & grain whiskies delivers a wonderfully balanced & whisky experience. Fresh & fruity on the nose it combines full, honeyed & delightfully smoky flavours that set it apart. The tasting experience is rounded off with a long & warming finish.
