All You Need To Know About Black Dog Scotch Whisky
Gather around, whisky aficionados and curious cats alike. Get to dive into the depths of Black Dog Scotch Whisky, a dram that’s been trendy since 1883.
A Swig Of History
Black Dog got its name from a fishing fly, for Pete's sake (that's Scottish rivers, not some guy named Pete). Concocted by James MacKinlay under the umbrella of the MacKinlay clan in 1883, it's been the go-to drink for those in the know.
What’s Inside That Bottle?
Peek inside the bottle, and you’re greeted by multiple flavours, each more unique than the last. With a range that spans from the quintessentially smooth Triple Gold Reserve to the rich, aged grandeur of the 12-Year-Old, Black Dog is a masterclass in complexity. Its flavour profile is a blend of the fruity, the floral, and the faintest taste of peat.
How To Make The Most Of Black Dog
Over the years, bartenders across the world have taken Black Dog on a journey of transformation, from the classic neat pour to cocktails that hold a special place in modern mixology. The trend of this whisky lies mainly in its ability to support a range of classic and contemporary recipes, playing well with mixers and ingredients, whether it is the soda or the more exotic honey and apple juice in a cocktail shaker.

Very few concoctions can surpass a clean pour of this whisky on a chilly evening, but its versatility is the major highlight. A Black Dog Highball, which comes together with 30 ml of Black Dog Triple Gold Reserve, topped with chilled soda over ice, and garnished with a sprig of mint or a twist of orange, is a sophisticated take.
For something a tad sweeter, there’s the Black Dog Honey Orchard. Combine 30 ml of Black Dog 12-Year-Old with a spoonful of honey and apple juice over ice. Stir gently, like you’re coaxing the flavours to wake and mingle. This concoction is ideal to bring in the winter.
What To Nibble As You Sip
Pairing food with Black Dog is an adventure in itself. Think smoked salmon canapés that echo the whisky’s smoothness or a dark chocolate tart that complements its depth. In the world of whisky, Black Dog Scotch Whisky stands as a testament to something that's both timeless and timely. It’s a journey through the heart of Scotland, a taste of the land and its legends.
