Winner of over 7 international awards, Black Dog Black Reserve is a unique blend of malt and grain scotches from various regions of Scotland. Aged and rare, it is a rich, rounded scotch whisky with a myriad of warm, luxurious flavours. With a 130-year-old legacy, the brand comes in 2 variants, Black Dog Black Reserve and Black Dog Triple Gold Reserve. The brand's purpose for Black Dog is to give people an opportunity to unwind and relax and take a break from their hectic lives. It is a great choice for someone who wants to make inroads into whiskies, considering the blend to be nominally peaty with a decent plop of sherry.
Nose:
Begins wheat like, creamy and malty starting sweet like a bouquet of caramel, honey, chocolate and dark raisins. Smoke, burnt wood and a subtle hint of peat makes much of the foreground while bits of orange peels and an almond like nuttiness hovers in and around the backdrop.
Taste:
Quite smooth, fruity and sweet with much of the vanilla and caramel pulling through. Shards of wood laced with a hint of spice and the tanginess of oranges is followed by dark grapes with a winey character typical of the sherry cask maturation.
About the Brand:
It’s origins are fairly recent, during the end of the 19th century -1883 to be on the dot. Sir Walter Millard, a Scotsman working with the then East India Company had set sail for Scotland, and it was during this time that he along with James MacKinlay, a second generation blender, created a special blend, which they named Millard Black Dog after the formers favorite salmon fishing fly, The Black Dog.
