The Craigellachie Hotel Copper Dog Scotch Whisky

Kick back with an easy-drinking glass of Copper Dog Speyside Blended Malt Scotch Whisky. Crafted with no fewer than eight fine Speyside single malts slowly married together in old oak casks, our Scotch whisky has a nose of ripe orchard fruit, berries and a hint of citrus, layered above a background of sweet wood and vanilla fudge. Its rich and creamy mouthfeel features notes of toffee apple, caramelized sugars, soft fruits and a gentle wood presence. Subtle, distant spices help carry the fruit and vanilla characters into a long, creamy finish.

Born of the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the Copper Dog pub in the Craigellachie Hotel, Speyside, our whisky is the result of a group of collaborators’ goal to create a fresh and relevant whisky. We’re inspired by the resourceful rascals of Speyside, the distillery workers who fashioned ‘Copper Dogs’, or bits of copper tubing with a penny soldered to one end and a cork in the other. They hid these 'Copper Dogs' in their clothing so they could smuggle out the Scotch they made to enjoy with their friends and family. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to come together and enjoy great Scotch, just as those crafty distillery workers did.
