Walter Millard, a Scot in British India, travelled
to Scotland in 1883 in search of an impeccable 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, Walter Millard named
the whisky Black Dog in honor of his favorite salmon fishing fly used in the
Spey and Tay rivers of Scotland since the early 19th century. Thus was born
Black Dog Whisky.
Today, more than a hundred years later, Black Dog
Whisky remains faithful to the original blend.

of Scotland, giving Black Dog its very distinctive flavor and taste.
