"Just before Master Distiller Jim McEwan retired in 2015 he took me to one side and handed me his recipe for the next iteration, Black Art 5. It was an emotional moment, the handing over of responsibility of one of the greatest drams we've ever created. I have to say I took the recipe from Jim's hand and dutifully ignored it. This had to be my Black Art." — Adam Hannett, Head Distiller.
Black Art, a series of cuvees, each one a personal selection of very special casks from all corners of the warehouse - casks that only distillers the calibre of Jim Mcewan and his now successor Adam Hannett could keep in their minds.
The assemblage of which would never be divulged, this is the distillers secret. This highly anticipated 5th release of the mystic single malt is just as enigmatic as the last.
With only a release of 12,000 individually bottled numbers produced, all of which have been non chill-filtered meaning the whisky retains its original colour, aromas and taste.
