Black Bottle was introduced by the Aberdeen tea merchants and whisky blenders Charles, David and Gordon Graham Ltd in 1879. The company’s signature black glass bottle was of German origin, which necessitated a switch to green bottles in 1914. After being sold to Schenley Industries in 1959, Gordon Graham & Co. went through several changes in ownership before landing with Highland Distilleries in 1995. 

Highland Distilleries reformulated Black Bottle as an Islay blend, using whisky from all seven working distilleries on Islay. After a brief spell with Edrington, Black Bottle was sold to Burn Stewart in 2003. Burn Stewart were acquired by Distell in 2013 and the following year Black Bottle was reformulated to dial back the smoke and return to its Highland malt-based roots - and was returned, after a century, to a black glass bottle.

DISCLAIMER

Although a condition report is normally included in the Lot description, we do recommend viewing/close inspection prior to placing any bids. If this is not an option and you have questions beyond the offered description and images, please use the form below "Ask A Question" to make specific enquiries or to receive a more in-depth condition report. Otherwise, Lots will be sold as seen and described.
Please note: due to the various ages of bottles, corks and their seals, condition of liquid is at the buyer's discretion. And no claim can be lodged against failure/leakage in transit.All bottles are checked by our whisky specialists Wayne & Harrison Ormerod prior to any auction. We do not auction opened bottles so therefore all items are sealed unless stated under certain circumstances where seals were never issued by the producer.
No item is deemed new, however many items are generally in good condition. When this is not the case, we aim to mention any faults in the description. The images supplied are of the actual item you will receive. If the filling level of the liquid is not visible in the images provided, we aim to indicate the current position in the description. If the filling level is impossible to determine, such as with ceramics decanters, we will provide an overall weight of the decanter in KG. Our filling level guideline can be found here.
All information in this listing is provided to the best of our knowledge including when we chose to date the age of a bottle. If you are unhappy with the listing or believe there is an error/discrepancy, you should notify us immediately and we will address the Lot accordingly. Placing a bid confirms you have checked the Lot and are satisfied.
