The Black & White Choice Old Scotch Whisky (1980s Bottling) is a premium iteration of the world-famous blend originally created by James Buchanan. This specific version was marketed as a more refined, higher-tier offering than the standard Black & White, featuring a greater proportion of aged malts, specifically from the Dalwhinnie, Clynelish, and Glendullan distilleries. Known for its accessibility and classic Speyside influence, the 1980s bottling is a snapshot of the era’s lighter, grain-balanced blending style. It is easily identified by its iconic duo of Scottish Terriers on the label and is appreciated by enthusiasts for its clean, crisp profile that avoids the heavy peat of Western Highland blends, making it a quintessential "gentleman’s dram" of the late 20th century.
