Black Bull

Official distillery bottling, 50 ml mini bottle with distillery label.

Kyloe (pronounced Kahy-loh) is inspired by the hardy breed of highland cattle, the Kyloe, known to survive in the bitter windswept highlands and islands of Scotland. This Black Bull Kyloe shares much of its likeness with this great breed – robust and with outstanding pedigree.

Selected prime Speyside malt whiskies matured in a blend of refill bourbon and sherry casks, but with a bourbon slant, blended together with aged grain, and bottled at a punchy 50% abv – this one is a real treat for the taste buds.

The 12 year old, charges at you and shakes you up a bit, but then leaves you with a realisation that this is what blended Scotch whisky should actually be like, a bit of rough and tumble with a silky smooth ending.

We take robust and rich highland and speyside malt whiskies, matured in refill ex-sherry European Oak butts and refill ex-bourbon American Oak hogsheads, and blend them together with lowland grain, matured in refill ex-bourbon American Oak barrels, in a ratio of 50% malt to 50% grain and bottled at a powerful 50% abv to give you the ride of your life.

Grab it by the horns, hold on tight and enjoy the ride.

This one is for all you spice lovers out there.

'Silver' 'Outstanding' International Wines & Spirits Competition – Deluxe Blend 21–25 yr 2014.

Towards the end of 2013, Black Bull's first year of partnering up with the Ecurie Ecosse motor racing team, they invited the racing drivers up to Black Bull in Huntly for a few days and gave them an in-depth whisky and blending education, culminating in a cask sampling session in their warehouse.

From that sampling session, the racing drivers chose their favourite malt whiskies, which included Bladnoch, Glen Moray, Royal Brackla and Springbank, and grain whiskies, which included Cameronbrige and Girvan, they were then blended together to create the Racers Reserve, a 21 Year Old full bodied, rich, throaty whisky.
