In 1883, Sir Walter Millard travelled to Scotland in search of an impeccable Scotch whisky. His search ended in a blend created by James Mackinlay, of the second generation of the Leith Scotch Whisky blending family. Being a keen angler himself, Millard named the whisky Black Dog in honour of his favourite salmon fishing fly, used in the Spey and Tay rivers of Scotland since the early 19th century. This was born Black Dog Scotch Whisky. Presenting the Black Dog Black Reserve, a rich and rave premium blended Scotch whisky loaded with exceptional characters. It is blended to perfection with a multitude of malt spirits chosen from the various region of Scotland.
