Black Bottle

Black Bottle is a blended Scotch Whisky produced by Scotch whisky producer Distell Group Limited a subsidiary of Heineken N.V..

The brand was introduced in 1879 and was first produced by Aberdeen tea blenders Charles, David and Gordon Graham.

[1] After many years of decline prompted by a distillery fire and subsequent business sale, Black Bottle was revitalised in 1990 by Burn Stewart Distillers with a new blend using Islay single malt whiskies.In April 2013 Distell bought Burn Stewart Distillers from CL Financial for £160m.

Supplies of the black glass bottle came from Germany and had to be abandoned after the start of World War I.

However, early in 2020 it was revealed that the producers brought back the 10 years old expression for a limited time and for a few selected markets.
