Whisky makers across the world are increasingly turning to celebrities to promote their spirits. The latest to really dress up for the festive season is Black Dog whisky. Diageo has teamed up with designer Manish Malhotra to give Black Dog Triple Gold Reserve Scotch whisky a celebratory makeover, complete with ornate floral artwork, gold detailing and a matching glass. The Black Dog Whisky x Manish Malhotra Festive Limited Edition was unveiled by Diageo India in October 2026. This limited-edition whisky brings a couture touch to the home bar, and makes a familiar Scotch look ready for the gifting season.
The Black Dog Whisky x Manish Malhotra collaboration takes its cues from his signature approach to festive glamour. Gold-on-gold detailing and decorative botanical motifs feature across the packaging and accompanying glass, turning the bottle into a more elaborate gifting piece. The spirit itself remains Black Dog Triple Gold Reserve whisky, so the attraction is the special presentation rather than a new flavour created for the collaboration.
The special Black Dog Whisky x Manish Malhotra pack's official MRP has not been separately confirmed. For comparison, here we list the regular bottle of Black Dog Triple Gold Reserve whisky at different prices across states like Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Goa:
Black Dog Whisky Price Mumbai: ₹8,250
Black Dog Whisky Price Bangalore: ₹6,440
Black Dog Whisky Price Hyderabad: ₹7,740
Black Dog Whisky Price Goa: ₹4,900.
These prices apply to the regular Black Dog Whisky Triple Gold Reserve whisky, not the limited-edition packaging. The festive pack may carry a different MRP, so check with an authorised local retailer for its price and availability.
Triple-cask maturation gives this blended Scotch its rounded character. Expect aromas of malt and mature wood, followed by notes of creamy caramel, vanilla, fruit and gentle spice. On the palate, sweet caramelised peach and vanilla meet oak, leading to a smooth, warming finish.
ABV: 42.8%.
For anyone who believes a good whisky bottle should make an impression before the first pour, the Black Dog Whisky x Manish Malhotra collaboration has its appeal. Black Dog brings the familiar caramel, vanilla and oak profile, while Manish Malhotra supplies the visual drama. It is a seasonal twist on a popular Scotch whisky and gives its fans great talking points spread across the fashion and spirits worlds.
