Black & White Scotch whisky was created in the late 19th century by James Buchanan, a pioneering figure in the Scotch whisky industry. Originally known as “Buchanan’s Blend,” the whisky gained popularity for its smooth, approachable flavor. Buchanan, who was keen on branding, eventually renamed it “Black & White” due to the distinctive black-and-white label and the symbol of a black Scottish Terrier and a white West Highland Terrier that became synonymous with the brand. This clever branding helped Black & White become widely recognized and enjoyed, especially in England, where it became one of the top-selling Scotch whiskies. Over the years, Black & White became part of the portfolio of what is now Diageo, a global leader in spirits, and remains a beloved whisky known for its light, smooth character, appealing to both seasoned Scotch drinkers and newcomers alike. Exact production date unknown. Production range believed to be in the 1970’s.
