            It's 130th birthday of Black Dog Scotch Whiskey. It reminds me of my last birthday celebrated at Toit with all my close friends and a premier , classy, over the top drink
from United Spirits none other than Black Dog Scotch Whiskey. I am always excited months before my b'day so this time we decided to celebrate it at one of the favorite
hangout places of all Bangaloreans . Situated in one of the prime locations, Indira Nagar.

130yrs of Black Dog

             With a fair view of metro passing by. Huge balconies to smoke it was a very nice place. We ordered Black Dog Scotch for all friends . As we did not want to get  too much high. We all had it in moderate quantities. Enjoyed food and loved the weather as it was starting to rain .

            
             At last it rained and we got ourselves drenched a little then stepped inside . This definitely called for another round of drinks.
             We had another round of Black Dog scotch which was tasting even better now. It was obviously tasting warm, filling smooth warmth inside, it was pleasant, the taste slowly
             releasing and its aroma which was so enchanting. This was a perfect b'day. We had so much yet everyone was pretty sober because we had a classy drink .
             Which not only adds glamour to your party but makes it all plush without trying too hard.

            
                  This was how I celebrated my 22nd B'day with awesome group of friends. Thanks for making my b'day so special. Thanks for travelling down so far just for me.




                 

The birth of the great Scotch Whisky took place over 125 years ago when James MacKinlay of the second generation of the Leith Scotch Whisky blending family
launched the masterful whisky by the name of Millard Black Dog. It is said that in the year 1883 Walter Millard searching for the perfect Scotch and eventually
discovered the great taste of this whisky in these misty shores of Scotland. 

Being a keen angler, Walter Millard named the whisky Black Dog in honour of his favourite salmon fishing fly used in the Spey and Tay rivers of Scotland since
 the early 19th century.

      Black Dog Scotch is made from the best quality grain. Black Dog Scotch is made from 10-20% malted barley and other unmalted cereals like wheat
 and maize. That’s the reason why it’s called as grain whisky. Apart from that, Black Dog Scotch is not heavy on pocket its much better then many other brands.



The variants of Black Dog Scotch are :

                          I had my deadlines to be met of 29th of December. Wrecked my every nerve to finish it on time. With  12-16 hours of work each day in the last week
was so frustrated at the end. The very same day I released my project, we left to Coorg, Karnataka.
We booked a home far away from the city hustle bustle. As soon as we reached Coorg. All friends united. It has become more of a tradition to unite every year and celebrate togetherness .

           As usual I was so excited at reaching Coorg . We reached around 5 am and since then my jumping around started.
We soon reached our homestay. It was a nice cosy place with wooden ceilings away from the city, huge or humongous open ground with a swing. We had authentic Coorg food . Puttu with chicken curry, some kind of coconut sweets.  Then we ventured out to get our best companion in all good times. On reaching the bar everyone started ordering their drinks. I noticed since the time I switched  to Black Dog Premium Scotch  most of my friends too have started drinking only premium drinks. (Raising color high)
That evening we spent drinking. I enjoyed my scotch drinking it neat occasionally I chose to have it with ice .
Paired it up with roasted cashew nuts , wafers and a game of poker. It made the evening never ending. The game kept getting more interesting every minute. We concluded the night with a lot of memories. Next day morning we had to wake up for a good trek.

      We started our plantations walk. We saw a huge coffee and tea estate. That area had a lot of elephants so we had to choose our path carefully.As I am a big time environment freak I loved that place instantly.
  After a few miles we reached a place that looked so heavenly. The was waterfall and it looked so pristine best part was it was almost empty.  Some of us already settled into the falls while a few amongst us went all the way up till where the waterfall starts.
  It was splendid. Once you reached there looked like the whole world was paused. Nothing could beat the serenity, calmness at that place. It had a mini waterfall at the top. We called it the natural Jacuzzi. It was beautiful.
    After we reached back , it was the New Years night. We started our party late at night.
I grabbed my beautiful companion Black Dog scotch -12 yr BD Deluxe. Its color -Golden with amber was so splendid at night.
I swirled it a little and smelled malty, woody,complex but delicate aroma of sherry and vanilla. Its taste was unforgettable woody, sweet yet sharp,fruity with light
teasing peat, pronounced malty. The whole experience was luxurious. It has to be I had reserved to treat myself with a 12 year old for special occasion and here it was.
Leaving a warm feeling within, a feeling of relaxation, content ,comfortable, unwinding every wrecked nerve and relaxing.

Black Dog 12 Yr Scotch Whiskey Deluxe

We danced for a while and then I was so peaceful that we called it a night .

June, drinking black dog deluxe
