Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• Is it a “real” Scotch? Yes. Distilled and matured in Scotland for 8 years before being bottled in Kolkata.

• What makes it “Centenary”? Launched to commemorate 100 years of the Black Dog brand.

• Is it smoky? Mildly peaty with subtle sherry notes; gentle smokiness rather than intense peat.

• How should I drink it? Serve neat, with a few drops of water, or on the rocks with a large ice cube.

• How does it compare to the 12-Year-Old? The 8-year Black Reserve is smoother and entry-level; the 12-Year variant has deeper vanilla and oak notes.

Signature Serving Ideas & Recipes

• Black Dog Highball: 60ml whisky over large ice cubes, topped with chilled soda water, lemon twist garnish.
