BLACK BOTTLE’S ‘OUT OF THE BOX’ FESTIVE GIFT SET 

From November the popular blended Scotch whisky Black Bottle will be available for a limited time in a funky gift pack with parts of the 750ml bottle literally presented outside of the box. It also includes two beautifully branded whisky tumblers. These will be available at Checkers LiquorShops countrywide for about R270 per gift pack.

Black Bottle offers a unique and ultra-versatile blend of top single malt and grain whiskies. Fresh and floral on the nose with whiffs of new-sawn oak and a hint of smoke, it opens onto a silky palate with delicate smoke and peat balanced by sweet oak and honey, to end on a lingering finish of spice.

As its name suggests, Black Bottle was originally sold in an opaque black bottle. Launched by the Graham brothers in 1879 in Aberdeen, Scotland, it soon developed a loyal following. The distinctive black bottles used were sourced from Germany. When World War I interrupted supply, the black bottle was replaced by a readily available green bottle.

Now, a century later, Black Bottle is back in black, celebrating its origins with a retro look and its original blend. The new design has been inspired by a black bottle found in the company archives dating to 1906, while the blend has been adjusted to reflect the recipe created in Aberdeen by Gordon Graham 136 years ago.
