Black Dog Triple Gold Reserve Scotch Whisky, a brand under Diageo India, on Thursday announced a limited-edition collaboration with fashion designer Manish Malhotra, releasing a special festive packaging ahead of the holiday gifting season.
The collection features a gold-on-gold design aesthetic drawing on Indian decorative motifs, florals, botanical forms and ornamental patterns, applied across the product’s outer carton and an accompanying glass. The design is intended to reflect both the whisky brand’s heritage and Malhotra’s signature couture vocabulary.
Varun Koorichh, Vice President of Marketing for International Whiskies at Diageo India, said the partnership was driven by Malhotra’s association with marquee Indian celebrations, positioning the limited edition as a premium gifting proposition for the festive season.
Malhotra, known primarily for bridal and occasion wear, described the tie-up as a natural fit given shared values around craftsmanship and celebration.
The limited edition is positioned as a collectible gift item rather than a new product variant, the whisky itself remains unchanged. Diageo India, listed on the NSE and BSE as United Spirits Limited, markets a broad portfolio of spirits in India including Johnnie Walker, Royal Challenge and McDowell’s No.1, in addition to Black Dog.
