About this bottle

One of three in the "Still Series" of whiskies distilled in the 1980's (Golder Still and Redder Still are the others), the Blacker Still was distilled in 1986. It was aged in Oloroso sherry butts yielding 3,000 bottles for release. Bottled in 2006 at at 50.7% ABV. Though named for the dark color the whisky provides, stills used to be direct-fire heated and would acquire a black color to them over time.
