Copper Dog for the first time feels like walking into your favorite pub after a long day, unpretentious, welcoming, and ready to surprise you.

It’s not trying to impress snobs, it’s here for a good time, and it brings the flavor to match.

Copper Dog Speyside Blended Malt Scotch Whisky 1L
Brand: Copper Dog | Category: Blended Malt Scotch Whisky | ABV: 40% | Origin: Speyside, Scotland | Vol: 1 Liter

Tasting Profile
Nose
Like a warm bakery in autumn fresh apples, toffee, vanilla fudge, and toasted oats drift up with a light floral touch and a whisper of cinnamon.
Palate
Smooth, fruity, and friendly. Think green apples dipped in caramel, with a creamy malt core, hints of dried fruit, and a soft cereal sweetness. It rolls across the tongue with effortless charm, no bite, just balance.
Finish
Easy and mellow. It trails off with lingering vanilla, a flick of spice, and that gentle orchard fruit glow that invites another sip.

Production Details
Copper Dog blends eight single malt whiskies, all from Speyside, into one seamless expression. Each component adds something special: fruit, spice, structure, or softness. The name comes from a copper pipe device distillery workers once used to “liberate” whisky straight from the cask, a cheeky nod to its origins in the heart of whisky country. It’s crafted for mixing, sipping, and enjoying, not overanalyzing.

Perfect For
That moment when someone says “I don’t really drink whisky” and you know exactly what to pour. It’s perfect for garden parties, rooftop hangs, casual dinners, and anytime you want to break the whisky ice without breaking the mood.

Expert Notes
Praised for its mixability and approachability, Copper Dog has become a bartender’s go-to for highball style serves and whisky cocktails. But don’t underestimate it neat, it holds its own, offering an easy drinking experience that still delivers character.

Customer Reviews
“Whisky I can actually relax with. No judgment, just good vibes.”
“Smooth, sweet, and somehow always the bottle that disappears first at my gatherings.”
“Goes with ginger ale, apple juice, or just a good laugh. Love it.”

Interesting Fact
The term “Copper Dog” isn’t just branding, it’s a real tool used by distillery workers to sneak drams past supervisors. It was usually a welded copper pipe with a penny soldered to one end and a cork in the other. This whisky’s playful name pays tribute to the original rule-breakers.

Serving Suggestions
Drink it however you like, this one plays well in almost any format. Neat, with a splash of soda, or over ice with ginger ale and a slice of apple. Want to get creative? Try it in a simple cocktail like a Copper Mule with ginger beer and lime.

Distillery Background
While Copper Dog isn’t tied to a single distillery, its spiritual home is the iconic Craigellachie Hotel in Speyside, a favorite haunt of whisky lovers and distillers alike. Born out of barroom conversations and a desire for a whisky everyone could enjoy, Copper Dog brings together Speyside malts in a bottle that’s as much about the people as the place. It’s whisky with a wink and a big heart.
