For over a century, Black Bull has been known for doing things differently, stronger blends, richer flavour, and no compromise on character. The 12 Year Old carries that legacy forward, delivering a full bodied whisky at a bold 50% ABV while keeping it smooth and approachable. It’s the kind of dram that proves age and strength can work hand in hand.
