Black Dog Whisky has carved a niche for itself as one of the leading and rapidly growing whisky brands globally. The brand, produced by United Spirits, a renowned beverage company, was introduced in 1883 by Scottish entrepreneur James MacKinley.
The brand made its entry into the Indian market in 1992, with bottles imported directly from Scotland. Black Dog Whisky is crafted through a meticulous process, blending select Scotch malts and Indian grain spirits, aged for a minimum of three years in oak barrels. This triply distilled whisky is known for its smooth and refined taste.
The whisky has been awarded several times, including a gold medal at The Monde Selection in 2006, the World Spirits Award in 2011, and the International Spirituosen Wettbewerb in 2013. Its color ranges from light yellow to dark amber, and it's characterized by a smooth, crisp taste with occasional notes of vanilla. Black Dog offers five distinct variants, each with a unique flavor profile.
The brand has also made cultural imprints, notably in the 1988 Bollywood film "Shahenshah", where villain Amresh Puri orders Black Dog whisky. Additionally, the brand features in Rohit Handa's novel “A Twisted Cue”, which delves into the legend behind the whisky's name.
