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.

Taste: 5/5Value: 5/5
“Absolutely spectacular! Visited a local outlet in Andheri and picked up Copper Dog Blended Malt Scotch Whisky. At ₹4,950 in Mumbai, this represents incredible value. The notes of Sweet Speyside Green Apples and Creamy Vanilla Custard pair phenomenally well with home-cooked Mutton Kheema Pav. Highly recommended!”

“A highly sophisticated Blended Malt Scotch Whisky by Copper Dog. Wonderfully smooth on the throat with subtle hints of Sweet Speyside Green Apples and Spiced Orchard Pears. Serving this neat during a family gathering in Bandra was a major hit, especially alongside local Kheema Pav!”
