COPPER DOG SPEYSIDE BLENDED MALT SCOTCH WHISKY

Copper Dog is an award winning whisky from the heart of Speyside, Scotland.

Our liquid is a unique blend of no fewer than eight single malt whiskies, slowly married together in old oak casks.

It’s a smooth Scotch, with ripe fruit aromas, and a delicate, spicy finish. Crisp apple to zesty citrus, dried fruit and vanilla.

Craftily combined together resulting in a whisky that’s simple enough to be approachable, but complex enough to keep up with the conversation.

TASTING NOTES

Toffee Apple, Berries, Citrus, Apple & Pear, Spices

NOSE

Fresh fruit and toffee apple; an integration of ripe orchard fruits (apples and pears), berries and a hint of citrus, layered above a background of sweet wood and creamy vanilla fudge.

PALATE

Rich creamy mouthfeel, toffee apple, caramelised sugars, soft fruits and a gentle wood presence. With water, fresher fruits become more pronounced on the nose (Bramley apple, Conference pear), alongside grape skin, green pear and more wood spice. Subtle, distant spices help carry the fruit and vanilla characters, giving a long and creamy finish.

'A PLAN HATCHED BY RASCALS'

Copper Dog history

In 1707, the British crown drove whisky production underground.

Scotland became a hot-bed of spirit smuggling. Renowned for its remote Highland location, Speyside was a smuggler’s paradise with stills and bothies hidden in every nook and cranny.

In 1823, the House of Lords finally managed to get the industry back under control and whisky became big business. But there were still strands of rebellion: the workers.

Raised in a century-old tradition of smuggling, the stills-men of Speyside used all kinds of tricks to get their own blends home and away.

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 man’s best friend because it never left its owner’s side. 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.

Today, at the heart of Copper Dog lies the belief that everyone should have the opportunity to come together and enjoy great Scotch.
