Black Dog Centenary. Photo courtesy United Spirits.This Blended Scotch whisky is produced for the Indian market, and has a spicy nose with ginger, hints of cinnamon and curry powder, honey and vanilla notes. The taste is light and thin at first with a touch of maple, then turns spicy with a strong cinnamon bite that builds up quickly and lasts, finally fading to reveal honey, vanilla, orange peel, and mango notes as the spice fades, The finish is fairly short, but with a lingering tartness.
