Black Dog in Bangalore at a Glance

Black Dog Price List for Bangalore

Bangalore carries more of the Black Dog range than most cities, including the 14-year-old at larger outlets. These are current approximate prices:

Karnataka’s liquor prices have been revised in recent years, and several Scotch brands are now much cheaper than their old MRPs. Older blogs and price guides still list Triple Gold Reserve at over ₹4,000. If a shop quotes you that, ask to see the current MRP on the bottle.

Bangalore compared with other markets

Bangalore now sits in the middle of the national range for Black Dog. It’s cheaper than Rajasthan and much cheaper than Mumbai, where Black Reserve costs almost ₹1,000 more. North India and Goa are still cheaper, but Karnataka limits how much liquor you can bring in from other states. For most Bangalore buyers, buying locally makes more sense.

What this means for buyers:

• A peg of Black Reserve costs about ₹73 in Bangalore, less than Black & White or Vat 69, which both cost about ₹95.
• Moving up to Triple Gold Reserve adds about ₹29 per peg, a bigger gap than in Delhi or Rajasthan.
• The 14-year-old costs about ₹66 more per peg than Triple Gold Reserve. It’s for special occasions, not everyday drinking.
• A 60 ml large peg of Black Reserve at home costs about ₹146. That’s a fraction of what a Bangalore brewpub charges for a Scotch highball.

Black Dog Bottles on Bangalore Shelves

Black Dog Black Reserve (Centenary)

This is the lighter, easy-drinking Black Dog, with gentle malt and a little honey. At about ₹1,820, it’s one of the best-value Scotch whiskies in Bangalore right now, and it works well with soda or water.

Black Dog Triple Gold Reserve

Triple Gold Reserve is the richer Black Dog. Its malt and grain whiskies are aged separately in ex-bourbon casks, then married in Oloroso sherry butts. That gives it dried fruit, honey and a rounder body. It’s the one to choose if you drink whisky neat or with a splash of water.

Millard’s Private Reserve 14 YO

The 14-year-old is named after Millard, the man the Black Dog blend was originally created for. It’s older, smoother and more complex. At about ₹4,190, it costs only a little more than Chivas Regal 12 in Bangalore, which makes it an interesting alternative if you’re buying a gift.

Black Dog Black Reserve or Black & White?

In Bangalore, Black Dog Black Reserve costs about ₹555 less than Black & White. Both are India-bottled Diageo Scotches aimed at the same buyers, so this is the most useful comparison for Bangalore drinkers.

In most cities these two cost about the same. In Bangalore, Black Reserve is clearly cheaper. It’s also slightly softer and rounder, while Black & White is drier and has a faint smoky edge. Unless you particularly like Black & White’s dry style, Black Reserve is better value here, saving you about ₹22 a peg.

Tasting Notes: Black Dog Triple Gold Reserve

In the glass it’s a warm amber-copper.

Nose
 Honey and vanilla come first, then raisin and orange marmalade from the sherry casks. After a minute, there’s a light nuttiness, a little like toasted almond.

Palate
 Smooth and slightly creamy. Toffee and dates lead, then malted biscuit and a gentle cinnamon warmth. The sherry sweetness stays balanced and doesn’t take over.

Finish
 Medium length, warm and softly sweet, ending on oak and dried fruit.

In Bangalore weather
 Bangalore’s mild evenings suit sipping, especially from November to February. Try Triple Gold Reserve neat or with a few drops of water. On warmer days, one large ice cube keeps it cool without diluting the sherry notes.

With Karnataka food
 The sherry sweetness pairs well with Coorg-style pandi curry, where the pork fat and kachampuli tang are balanced by the dried fruit. It also works with Mangalorean chicken ghee roast or a plate of mutton pepper fry.

Black Reserve, side by side
 Black Reserve is lighter and grainier, with malt and a little honey but not much fruit. It’s best with soda.

Why Black Dog Became Bangalore’s Scotch Bargain

Black Dog’s current position in Bangalore comes from a mix of history and Karnataka’s pricing:

• The blend dates to 1883, when James MacKinlay created it in Leith for Millard, a Scot working in India. It’s said to be named after a salmon fishing fly.
• Black Dog has been bottled in India since 1992, which keeps it well below the price of fully imported Scotch.
• Karnataka’s liquor prices are set in slabs, and recent revisions have changed how different brands are priced relative to each other.
• After those revisions, Black Dog’s Bangalore prices fell well below the older MRPs of roughly ₹2,400 for Black Reserve and ₹4,300 for Triple Gold Reserve.
• As a result, both Black Dogs now cost less than several Scotch blends that were cheaper than them only a few years ago.
