Craigellachie Blended Malt
Copper Dog Blended Malt Scotch Whisky
Copper Dog4.7(1,200 reviews)
Copper Dog is an exceptionally smooth, vibrant, and roguish blended malt Scotch whisky, first launched in 2014 by Piers Adam at the historic Craigellachie Hotel in Speyside, Scotland. The brand's name is inspired by the historic copper tubes ('dogs') that distillery workers used to sneakily siphon whiskey straight from the casks to take home. Masterfully blending eight distinctive single malts from Speyside, Copper Dog is matured primarily in hand-selected refill, first-fill, and charred oak casks. Famed for its highly versatile and accessible character, it bridges the gap between classic single malts and smooth blended scotches, delivering rich fruit-forward notes of sweet apple, soft vanilla cream, spiced pear, and a warming, smooth honey finish.

“Absolutely spectacular! Visited a local outlet in Vasant Kunj and picked up Copper Dog Blended Malt Scotch Whisky. At ₹2,980 in Delhi, this represents incredible value. The notes of Sweet Speyside Green Apples and Creamy Vanilla Custard pair phenomenally well with home-cooked Butter Chicken. Highly recommended!”
