A premium blended Scotch for Rugby-players and manly-men.
Duncan Taylor & Co. was founded in 1938 as a cask broker — an agent for competing distilleries and blended Scotch companies. Soon, they started showing up at distilleries with their own casks to have them filled on site. All the while they built up one of the largest privately-held collections of rare casks. In 2001, experienced industry veteran Euan Shand purchased the company and expanded into a series of new brands and blends to complement their rare cask business with six single malts, two blended malts, three blended Scotches, two Rums, and one Gin.
The Black Bull brand goes all the way back to 1864 when George Willshire developed a custom blend to sell in his retail shop in Dundee, Scotland. He followed a simple 50/50/50 recipe — 50% fine Single Malt, 50% premium Scottish grain Whisky, and bottle at 50% ABV. As they say, “No bull, just Whisky.” This formula worked and by 1974 they were exporting a million bottles per year to the United States alone. There are now seven products in the Black Bull line, and Black Bull 12 YO is the core offering — a blend of classic Highland single alts and Lowland grains married in ex-Bourbon casks for a full twelve years of maturation.

Ratings & Reviews
Jasson,
Very enjoyable blend with a very high ABV. I thought it was much more harsh on the palette than some of the 45-50% bottles I've tried recently (See: Cutty Sark's Prohibition bottle - very good!), but ultimately a great bottle of whisky for $50 USD.
Charles,
Really loved this at the start of my whiskey journey, a Speyside/Highlander with plenty of barley sugar and honey. Half grain, half malt, but you wouldn't know it, very good quality for around 50 usd. Anyone early in their whiskey journey looking to move up from Chivas or Johnnie walker, this is a great direction. You won't find peat in here......
shane,
Every flavor right on!
Michael,
Honestly a very good blend. Great notes and a bit of smoke as well. I purchased this on accident and have zero regrets whatsoever.
Michael,
A hint of a Smokey flavor and a soothing burn. This whiskey makes me think about its flavors hours after I have tried it. Well worth buying a bottle
