Duncan Taylor Scotch Whisky in Huntly, Aberdeenshire have scooped a Silver award for their Black Bull 21 year old at the prestigious People’s Choice Spirits Awards in Manchester on Monday night.
The awards are judged by some of the UK’s elite spirits writers, broadcasters and buyers and the Black Bull whisky was up against very stiff competition in the ‘Treat Yourself’ category where seven finalists from across the UK were vying for the overall title.
Ian Logan, Senior Manager of Whisky and Hospitality at Duncan Taylor Scotch Whisky said; “This was a very strong category with some amazing whiskies entered and we’re delighted to come away with Silver for our first ever entry into these awards.”
The company is no stranger to awards and their 21 year old has picked up several over the years including previously twice winning the Gold at the World Whisky Awards.
The origins of the Black Bull brand date back to 1864 and it’s still blended to the same formula today as it was back then, a large percentage of quality Speyside and Highland malts, matured in sherry and bourbon casks. The blend of malt to grain is high and then finally bottled at 50% abv. The company sell Black Bull in over 60 countries globally.
