Today, Black Bull is still blended according to the same original formula, with a high percentage of quality malts from Speyside and the Highlands, matured in sherry and bourbon casks, mixed according to a high malt-to-grain ratio, and finally bottled at a robust alcohol strength of 50%. Black Bull 21 is non-chill filtered, allowing the character of each carefully selected 21-year-old whisky to fully express itself, resulting in a unique and exceptional blend in its category.
