The 18 Year Old and 30 Year Old whiskies, were matured in Sherry casks and created specially to represent major milestone events in Sir Nick’s illustrious professional career.
The 50 Year Old (limited to 600 bottles) which contains malts from distilleries including Caperdonich, Macallan and Glen Grant, was matured in ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry casks.
The 55 Year Old (limited to 600 bottles) is said to be a very special and complex whisky trifecta, using sherry, grain and malt whiskies produced at Lochside Distillery, which stopped production in 1992.
The ‘Tale of Two Legends’ series coincides with an overhaul of the Black Bull branding worldwide, and a planned launch at the prestigious Pro-Am in Bangalore, India this week - where Sir Nick Faldo will be playing alongside an elite field of other golfing greats.
Commenting on the launch, Euan Shand, Chairman of Duncan Taylor, said; “This year we are going big and bold with our releases and the ‘Tale of Two Legends’ series comes hot on the heels of one of the oldest Macallan whiskies we’ve ever launched. Together with Sir Nick, we’ve handpicked some of our best whiskies within our archives and blended them meticulously to create four stunning blends that are worthy of celebrating some of the iconic times in his life. Timing it with our re-brand of the entire portfolio is perfect and we look forward to launching these new releases as the official sponsor of the Pro-Am golf event in Bangalore this week, followed by a global distribution.”
The Black Bull Tale of Two Legends series, will be available later this month from specialist retailers. RRP’s starting at £120 for the 18 Year Old.
