Black Bottle Alchemy Series Batch #3 - Andean Oak Blended Scotch Whisky
In stock
A true experiment: the first Scotch Whisky finished in virgin Andean oak casks. Known for thriving at altitudes that others cannot, Andean oak imparts a similar character to American oak, but with more tannins and spice than it’s continental neighbour.
Featuring a high malt content and a smoky undertone -courtesy of Bunnahabhain Moine - Black Bottle Andean Oak offers a fusion of spice, fruit and nut. Expect a daring discovery of spiced stone fruits, vanilla pod and smoked almonds.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with a warm coppery glow and honey-gold undertones.
Nose
An aromatic blaze of vanilla and toasted spice rises from the glass, folding into sun-warmed stone fruits. Virgin Andean oak threads a resinous tannin and subtle smoke, while smoked almonds and a touch of nuttiness mingle with a faint peat lift. A vibrant, complex nose that hints at daring fusion—fruit, spice and oak in elegant balance.
Palate
On the palate, a bold, malt-forward profile with peppery spice and a smoky edge. Ripe stone fruits—apricot and plum—carry vanilla pod and toasted almond notes. Virgin Andean oak adds tannic grip and drying spice, guiding a long, smoky, nutty finish.
Finish
Long, smoky finish with a bold oak tannic bite from virgin Andean casks. Vanilla pods and spiced stone fruits emerge, folding into toasted almonds as a delicate ember of smoke lingers, a refined echo of Bunnahabhain Moine and the whisky’s high-malt backbone.
