HISTORY
With a desire to create a genuinely smooth &
milder whisky to share & entertain with friends,
James Buchanan created The Buchanans
Blend in 1884
James blended the finest Speyside & Highland
Scotch whiskies to get a perfect balance of
Body & Flavor. Recognizing the quality of this
blend early on, he was appointed the sole
supplier of Scotch Whisky to the House of
Commons & blend came to be known as The
House of Commons Blend
In no time, The Buchanan Blend was being
shared & savored across the world, with James
Buchanan being appointed supplier of Scotch
Whisky to the Emperor of Japan in 1907. Sold in
a very dark bottle with a white label, the
packaging set itself apart from competitors &
was so distinctive that customers began to ask
for that black & white whisky
Bending to popular demand, James renamed
the whisky as Black & White and introduced
an icon that that went on to become one of the
worlds most recognized symbols two affable
& lovable Scottish terriers that represent the
playful & friendly spirit of the brand

The BLACK & WHITE word and assosiated logos are trade marks.

THE BLEND
With a 130 year old legacy Black Dog comes in 2
variants, Black Dog Black Reserve and Black Dog
Triple Gold Reserve. Black Dog Triple Gold Reserve
is the first and only Triple Matured Scotch in its
class, as all other scotch whiskies are matured only
twice. It is expertly crafted and matured and
married for the third time in Oloroso Sherry Butts.
This triple maturation is what lends this exquisite
blend complexity and depth of character. Black Dog
Black Reserve is an aged and rare liquid with a
unique blend of malt and grain scotch whiskies
from various regions of Scotland, for a warm and
luxurious flavor.

THE LEGACY
In 1883, Sir Walter Millard, a connoisseur and
globetrotter returned home to Scotland to pursue
his two passions Angling and Scotch Whisky. His
quest for the perfect Scotch ended with the
creation of Black Dog - a unique, exceptionally
smooth whisky crafted with the finest ingredients
from all over Scotland. In a flash of inspiration,
Millard christened the new blend in honour of his
favourite fishing fly The Black Dog an elegant,
feathered tackle that still endorses every pack.
