Black Bull - Kyloe 100 Proof - Original + Sherry, Rum & Peated Finish + Black Bull Miniature Set - 700ml, 50ml - 7 bottles

Black Bull Kyloe series by independent bottler Duncan Taylor is a highly regarded line of bold blended Scotch whiskies. Named after the rugged, wild Scottish Highland breed of cattle (Kyloe), all expressions in this lineup adhere to a signature production standard: they are made with a high-quality ratio of 50% single malt and 50% single grain whisky, bottled at a punchy 50% ABV (100 Proof), and are non-chill filtered with natural color.
Here is a breakdown of the Classic edition alongside its three distinct wood-finished variations:

1. Kyloe Classic

The flagship release serves as the backbone of the series, showcasing the unadulterated blending profile of the house.
• Maturation: Matured in standard American oak / ex-bourbon barrels.
• Profile: Smooth, balanced, and vibrant. It relies heavily on traditional toffee apple, clementine, brown sugar, hazelnuts, chocolate, and raisins.


2. Kyloe Rum Finish

This variation is transferred into active rum casks to introduce a warm, vibrant tropical climate profile to the Scotch.
• Maturation: Initially aged in bourbon oak, finished in ex-Caribische rumvaten.
• Profile: Deeply sweet and summery. The nose bursts with tropical fruit salad, coconut, melon, sugarcane, and powdered vanilla sugar. The palate features light brown sugar, tangy citrus, fresh mint, and a creamy texture.


3. Kyloe Sherry Finish

A deeply rich, "gourmet-style" blend designed to mimic the old-school sherry-heavy profiles of classic Scotch blending.
• Maturation: Finished in premium Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso Sherry casks.
• Profile: Rich and festive. It delivers aromas of soft sherry, pear drops, and Kola Kubes. The palate is elegant with rich fruit, stewed plums, and red apples, leading to a long, sweet, and intense finish.

4. Kyloe Peated Finish

For peat-heads, this edition injects a robust layer of smoke into the standard blend without masking the underlying fruitiness.
• Maturation: Finished in ex-peated/geturfde vaten.
• Profile: Savory, mineral, and smoky. The nose and palate showcase phenolic peat smoke balanced by maritime notes, a distinct malty sweetness, and crisp citrus fruits.
