Black Bull Kyloe Rum Finish takes Duncan Taylor's high-malt blend and finishes it in Caribbean rum casks — adding tropical sweetness, coconut and a warm, sugary richness to the already characterful Kyloe base. At 50%, non-chill-filtered, it delivers the rum influence with genuine intensity.
The rum cask finishing transforms the Kyloe character. The tropical fruit, coconut and brown sugar from the rum barrels create a whisky that bridges Scotch and Caribbean spirits — sweet, warm and exotic. The high malt content prevents the rum influence from overwhelming the grain character.
Black Bull Kyloe Rum Finish is another impressive expression from Duncan Taylor's Kyloe range. The rum finishing adds genuine character, the 50% gives it body, and the price is fair. The Kyloe range — peated, sherry and rum finishes on the same malt-rich base — demonstrates how different finishing can shape the same blend in dramatically different directions.
