- Description
- Black Bottle's Captains Cask blends peaty and unpeaty malts finished in rum casks with aged grain, creating an unusual marriage of tropical fruit—pineapple and papaya—against toasted malt and black pepper spice. The rum cask influence brings caramel sweetness and coconut complexity that softens the typical maritime edge of the blend. Rich and warming at 46.3%, this works well for those seeking blended Scotch with genuine character and tropical intrigue.
