Every batch of The Gladstone Axe Black Axe is crafted from 100% malted barley and aged in oak barrels. This exceptional blend is sourced from a select collection of malt whiskies from 14 distinct Highland and Islay distilleries. Distinguished by a higher percentage of Islay whisky, the Black Axe boasts a smokier and spicier profile compared to its sibling, the American Oak. This harmonious marriage of whiskies creates a delightful flavor profile that appeals to both novice and seasoned Scotch enthusiasts alike. Inspired by former UK Prime Minister William Gladstone, known for his love of felling trees, The Gladstone Axe Black Axe is a tribute to his legacy. Bold, malty aromas of vanilla, toasted oak, and smouldering firewood greet the nose, complemented by rich notes of caramel, aromatic peat, heather, oak spice, and a touch of sea salt that persist throughout the palate. Bottled in 2021, with an ABV of 41% and a 700ml size, this whisky promises a complex and multifaceted tasting experience.
