Duncan Taylor Scotch Whisky Redesigns 30 Year Old Whisky
In collaboration with golfer Sir Nick Faldo, Duncan Taylor Scotch Whisky has introduced a new look for its Black Bull 30-year-old blend.
As part of a limited edition series, Tale of Two Legends, the newly designed Black Bull 30-year-old follows last year’s expression. The 30-year-old is double matured in Sherry oak casks, at 50% ABV, and combines several Duncan Taylor spirits.
Beside the rich fruit cake flavor discovered in each sip, the blend also contains notes of almonds and subtle spices. The packaging, made with organic inks and environmentally friendly caps, is fully recyclable.

Featuring a box that shows off the bottle in its entirety, the design incorporates a gradient from black to clear. Since Duncan Taylor relaunched the Black Bull brand in 2009, it has received numerous industry awards.
Evan Robertson, director of product development for Duncan Taylor, commented: “We’ve set ambitious targets throughout the company to reduce our carbon footprint and carefully map out each brand with that in mind. Since the launch of ‘The Tale of Two Legends’, we’ve had incredible feedback about the liquid and won numerous awards.
“It is fitting that we elevate the Black Bull identity with a striking, luxurious, and environmentally friendly packaging, underpinning our goals going forward.”
As part of the Tale of Two Legends portfolio, the designers created a whisky with an age statement based on Faldo’s 30 wins on the European Tour. During the tour, he enjoyed 97 weeks at the top of the world ranking.
Faldo said: “This limited edition Black Bull 30-year-old holds a particularly special place in my heart. The youngest spirit selected from the Duncan Taylor vaults began a distinguished maturation in the year I won my third Open Championship title at Muirfield [in 1992]. It’s great to see the new luxury packaging, which complements the liquid inside.”
