The Black Douglas is a blended Scotch whisky from Scotland, named in tribute to Sir James Douglas, the fearless Scottish knight remembered through the Borders and Northern England as a relentless friend of Robert the Bruce. The whisky brings together carefully selected malt and grain Scotch whiskies from the Highlands and Speyside, drawing on the strengths of both regions for a balanced and approachable house style.
On the nose there is a delicate, gently smoky character lifted by soft floral notes and a touch of orchard fruit. The palate is smooth and velvety, carrying a subtle sweetness laced with malt and gentle oak, before finishing long and warming with just a hint of spice. It is built to be complex enough to reward considered sipping yet easy enough to make a great everyday Scotch.
Equally suited to a slow pour neat, a splash over ice, or as the backbone of a classic whisky and soda, The Black Douglas is a versatile blend with genuine Scottish character.
