The whisky has robust, chunky aromas of sherry, fresh strawberries, cherry pie and vanilla. The bold nose gives way to a palate filled with lemon meringue, fudge, almonds and baked apples, and leads to a palate accented by sweet caramel and toffee butter.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nBlack Bull 12 was named the #1 Best Blended Scotch Whisky (12 Years and Under) at the 2011 World Whisky Awards. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPick up a bottle today!                            \u003cdiv class=\"caskers-brand-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout Black Bull\u003c\/h2\u003e\n                                            Black Bull traces its origins all the way back to 1864, when the brand first released its blended Scotch whisky into the market in Dundee, Scotland. Throughout the next century, Black Bull hit several unprecedented milestones: after a successful foray into Europe in 1897, Black Bull obtained a trademark in the United States in 1933 (upon repeal of Prohibition) and would go on to surpass 80,000 cases in the U.S. alone by 1974.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nNow owned by Duncan Taylor, the Black Bull brand stays true to its original philosophy of blending Scotch with a high malt content at high proof — in fact, the Black Bull recipe today calls for 50% malt whisky and 50% grain whisky to be bottled at exactly 50% ABV. While those numbers are certainly convenient, the team at Duncan Taylor is always innovating, sampling the choicest single malt and single grain whiskies and selecting only those which are at their absolute peak.                                        \u003cdiv class=\"brand-link\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/spirits\/?brand_dropdown=3002\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eExplore all Black Bull bottles \u0026gt;\u0026gt;\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"caskers-spirit-type-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout Scotch\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScotch is the most popular whisky in the world and is considered the king of them all!
