The quintessence of the Black Bull range. The 12 Year Old weighs in at a punchy 50% abv – a real contender for the prize list. This blend is a marriage of Malt and Grain that has undergone a 12-year maturation in refill ex-bourbon American oak hogsheads and finished in ex-Oloroso European butts. This nurtured and cultivated Highlander demonstrates a nutty sherry influence with the Black Bull chocolate so brace yourself for a full-on flavour experience that will rampage all over your senses.
