Black Bull has never been shy, high strength, high character, and a blending style rooted in old-school Scottish swagger. The Peated expression pushes that legacy into smoky territory, delivering a whisky that feels like stepping into a Highland bothy at dusk: glowing embers, cool air, and the scent of peat drifting through rough-hewn timber. Paired with a Prism Spinning Glass, the experience becomes as dramatic as the whisky itself.

Black Bull Peated with FREE Prism Spinning Glass
Brand: Black Bull | Category: Blended Scotch Whisky (Peated) | ABV: 50% | Origin: Scotland | Vol: 700ml

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Campfire smoke, charred oak, sweet malt, vanilla, and orchard fruit, like leaning over warm embers while someone slices apples nearby.
Palate: Bold, oily, and full of attitude. Notes of smoked barley, honey, toasted oak, peppery spice, and gentle fruit sweetness move with muscular clarity. The 50% ABV gives it punch, lifting the smoke without drowning the malt.
Finish: Long, warming, and smoky with lingering malt sweetness and glowing peat embers in a steady fade.

Production Details:
Black Bull Peated is built around a generous malt content blended with carefully selected grain whisky for balance. The malt components come from distilleries known for clean, assertive peat, giving the blend backbone and a smoky edge. Bottled at 50% and unchillfiltered, it keeps its natural weight, texture, and richness intact.

Perfect For:
Late-night pours, smoky pairings, or drinkers who want peat without the heavy iodine of Islay. Perfect for fans of bold blends with real depth. The Prism Spinning Glass enhances the aromatics, letting the smoke bloom beautifully as the whisky opens.

Expert Notes:
Praised for delivering serious smoke at a strong proof, Black Bull Peated is often recommended as a gateway for lovers of powerful blends transitioning toward peat-rich malts. Its balance of fruit, malt, and smoke gives it a versatile, modern edge.

Customer Reviews:
“Big flavor, clean smoke, and great balance. Fantastic value.”
“Love the punch at 50%. Smoky but still smooth.”
“The spinning glass makes the whole experience feel premium.”

Interesting Fact:
Duncan Taylor, the company behind Black Bull, owns one of Scotland’s largest privately held cask collections, allowing them to source distinctive peated malts for blends like this one.

Serving Suggestions:
Neat to enjoy the smoky backbone. A few drops of water unlock more vanilla and fruit. Over ice, the smoke softens and the sweetness becomes more pronounced. Use the Prism Spinning Glass to help the peat aromas evolve slowly.
