Scotch appreciation

Photographs from Black Dog Scotch appreciation event...








 Black Dog 18 Year Old Scotch Whisky

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.
Taste:   Round and mellow complex quixotic flavours 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.



Black Dog 12 Year Old Scotch Whisky

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 Centenary Scotch Whisky

Tasting Notes

Color: Amber with golden highlights.
Aroma: Matured wood, toasted malt, mild honey sweetness, delicate butterscotch bordering on cream, with floral nuances that emerges at the end.
Palate:  Robust body, pronounced rich malt and oak and sherry sweetness, spreads warmly in the mouth like silent sea waves.
Finish: Balanced, long, intense and bright.

  9. Looks like an interesting event. I like the PAF photo, such a pensive expression. I agree with Bonnie about how rich and golden the Scotch looks. Also those meatballs look quite tasty.

  12. Based on your thumbnail, I thought that woman holding a glass of Black Dog was your subject for "The Beauty of Aging." And I was intrigued. I thought that was rather bold of her to accept aging :)

    Nonetheless, beautiful images you got!

    Cheers!
