Black Dog Black Reserve Blended Scotch Whisky 75cl

Big flavour, zero fuss. This blended Scotch whisky is built for nights when you want something malty and toasty in the glass, and something dependable in your cocktail.

• Nose: Toasted oak, caramel, cereal malt, a touch of smoke, and a hint of dried fruit.
• Taste: Honeyed grain and toffee up front, then baking spice (think cinnamon and clove), with a gentle woody grip that stops it from feeling syrupy.
• Finish: Drying oak, lingering spice, and a faint smoky echo that hangs around just long enough.

If you’re tired of whisky that disappears the second you add ice or mixer, this one holds its ground. The malt-and-caramel core stays present, the spice gives it shape, and that light smoky note adds character without turning the whole thing into a campfire.

It’s also a great “reach for it anytime” Scotch. Pour it in a Whisky Sour and you’ll get toffee and spice through the citrus. Build a Highball and the toasted oak and grain still show up. Old Fashioned? The vanilla and baking spice play nicely with bitters, no overthinking required.

Blended Scotch gets a bad rap because some bottles aim for bland. This one aims for comfort and flavour, with enough oak and spice to keep it interesting and enough sweetness to keep it friendly.

Fun Fact: Black Dog is one of the long-running whisky names tied to India’s Scotch-loving drinking culture, it helped make Scotch a staple pour for generations of fans.
