Black Dog 12 and 18 YO Scotch - Tasting Notes

I have been writing a bit about the newly launched TGR Scotch from everyone's favourite brand, the Black Dog. You can find the tasting notes and the correct way of tasting the Triple Gold Reserve here. Today I thought of bringing you the forgotten taste (which is unlikely) of the 12 Year Old Black Dog Scotch Whisky and its elder counterpart (in terms of age), the Black Dog 18 Year Old Scotch Whisky.

Black Dog 12 year old

Remember, I had mentioned about the four prominent Whisky producing regions from Scotland in my previous posts - Speyside, Highlands, Lowlands and Islay. The 12 YO is a blend of the matured whiskies from these regions. Each of these is Whisky contributes with its unique taste and aroma, thanks to the varying climate in different parts of Scotland. All the four whiskies are matured for a minimum of 12 years.

Tasting Notes

Color: Amber, with golden highlights.
Aroma: Robust malty, mellow woody, complex yet delicate aroma of sherry and vanillic sweetness with whispers of soft peatiness in the background.
Palate: Beautifully rounded, heavy body, pronounced malty, mellow woody, fruity sweetness with teasing light warm peat.
Finish: Luxurious and exciting, long and warm with a touch of cream.

Black Dog 18 year old

The 18 year old Scotch from Black Dog is a supreme whisky and caters to the tastes of the people who desire fine things in life. It is a symbol of luxury and value for patience. The Black Dog 18 YO is matured for a minimum of 18 years in oak casks and bottled in a special Saint Gobain bottle. 

Tasting Notes

Color: Deep, golden, glossy and mahogany.
Nose: A truly noble bouquet of luscious malty tones and rich velvety textures with a hint of oloroso sherry in the background.
Palate: Round and mellow complex quixotic flavors with an impeccable balance of individual malt and grain whiskies and silky soft tones that dance on the tongue.
Finish: Luxuriously smooth and long, a testament to the malt & grain whiskies which have spent years in oak casks & vats.
