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.
