Product Information

The pub in that hotel carries the Copper Dog name, and having been there, greatly accompanies The Highlander Inn in Craigellachie as a welcoming haven for whisky enthusiasts. Crafted with precision and expertise, this whisky offers a unique blend of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds.

The most celebrated was a nifty little device known as the ‘copper dog’, a piece of tubing with a penny soldered to one end and a cork in the other.

A combination of eight single malts, Copper Dog is deliciously fruity with a hint of honey and spice.A 15-year-old Glenallachie single malt, matured in a combination of Pedro Ximenez and oloroso sherry casks, creating a smooth, rich character. The name of both the whisky and the pub refer to a makeshift device once used by distillery workers to illicitly sample and carry whisky from maturing casks.

Distillery workers hid these copper dogs down their trousers and in their belts, pilfering a dram before secretly sharing them around their local pub, comparing notes and hatching plans. The “ Blended Malt” element then finally confirms that we have a combination of single malt whiskies from different distilleries (“Blended Scotch” on its own usually denoted a mixture of malt and grain whiskies). Meticulously crafted by Scottish-born Copper Dog Master Blender Stuart Morrison, Copper Dog is a blended malt Scotch whisky intended to represent the diversity of Scotch production in Speyside, home to over half of Scotland’s distilleries.When it comes to the palate you can reveal in malty walnut depth, sticky manuka honey and that gentle smoke weaving into the midst. Originating from The Craigellachie Hotel in Speyside, a hotel steeped in local heritage, dating back to 1893. Copper Dog has no age statement, though each of the whiskies are aged in a mixture of refill American and European oak casks, and first fill bourbon casks before being married in ex bourbon hogsheads. There is no age statement or confirmation of the distilleries involved so… let’s unpack the title and do a little detective work. The aroma of this beautiful blend displays fresh fruit characters of rich confected apple, ripe pear and berries with the slightest touch of citrus.
