Bangalore’s whisky culture spans a wide and interesting spectrum. At one end you have serious single malt collectors hunting down limited Indian and Japanese expressions. At the other end sits an enormous and active community of casual whisky drinkers who want a smooth, reliable, and globally recognised blended Scotch at a price that makes everyday drinking practical. Black and White whisky sits squarely in the latter camp — and it does so with genuine credentials and a long, respected history that gives buyers confidence in what they are purchasing.
Black and White is a blended Scotch whisky produced by Diageo, the world’s largest spirits company, in Scotland. It was originally created in 1879 by James Buchanan as Buchanan’s Blend before being renamed Black and White in 1902 — a name inspired by the whisky’s distinctive black bottle and white label, which themselves were inspired by the black and white Scottish Terriers that became the brand’s iconic symbol. It is one of the longest-running Scotch whisky brands in continuous production and remains widely distributed across India’s major markets.
Confirmed retail data places the Black and White 750ml price in Bangalore at approximately ₹2,500 — making it one of the most accessible entry-level imported Scotch whiskies available in Karnataka’s KSBCL-regulated market. For Bangalore’s enormous IT workforce looking for a genuine Scotch whisky experience without the premium price tags of Chivas Regal or Glenfiddich, Black and White delivers consistently good value. This is the complete and updated 2026 guide.

Tasting Notes — What Black and White Tastes Like
Understanding the flavour profile helps buyers make an informed purchase decision. Black and White is a smooth, light-bodied blended Scotch with a pale gold colour. On the nose, gentle spice, fresh grain, and subtle floral notes are the first impressions — clean and unchallenging. On the palate, vanilla, caramel, sweet oak, and a light biscuit character come through with mild spice and a hint of distant smoke. The finish is gentle and warming — short to medium in length, clean, and pleasant without demanding the drinker’s full attention.
It is a whisky that is genuinely versatile — enjoyable neat for casual drinking, well-suited to simple serves with water or ice, and a reliable mixing spirit in cocktails where you want Scotch character without spending on a premium blended label.

Karnataka’s excise structure makes Bangalore one of the more expensive cities for Black and White in India — only Chennai and Kerala are higher. Goa and Delhi are meaningfully cheaper. For Bangalore buyers who travel frequently to Delhi or Goa, stocking up on Black and White during those trips saves ₹400–₹950 per bottle. The national average for Black and White 750ml sits at ₹1,800–₹2,500 across all major markets — Bangalore’s ₹2,500 confirmed price sits at the upper end of this range.
Black and White vs Other Blended Scotch in Bangalore
Understanding where Black and White sits relative to its direct competitors helps Bangalore buyers make sharper purchasing decisions:
| Brand | Size | Bangalore Price | ABV |
| Black and White | 750ml | ₹2,200 – ₹2,600 | 40% |
| Black Dog Triple Gold Reserve | 750ml | ₹2,400 – ₹2,800 | 42.8% |
| Vat 69 | 750ml | ₹2,000 – ₹2,400 | 40% |
| Teachers Highland Cream | 750ml | ₹2,200 – ₹2,600 | 40% |
| 100 Pipers | 750ml | ₹2,100 – ₹2,500 | 40% |
| Chivas Regal 12 Year | 750ml | ₹3,800 – ₹4,500 | 40% |
| Ballantine’s Finest | 750ml | ₹2,400 – ₹2,800 | 40% |
Black and White competes directly with Teachers, Vat 69, and 100 Pipers in Bangalore’s entry-level imported Scotch segment. All four sit in a broadly similar ₹2,000–₹2,600 price range. The choice between them comes down entirely to personal taste preference rather than any meaningful price differentiation. Against Chivas Regal 12 Year — the aspirational step-up in Bangalore’s Scotch market — Black and White is approximately ₹1,500–₹2,000 cheaper per 750ml, making it an everyday drinking option that preserves the Chivas for special occasions.
Where to Buy Black and White in Bangalore
Black and White has excellent distribution through KSBCL’s licensed wine shop network across all Bangalore zones. Unlike premium Indian single malts that may require a visit to specialist stores, Black and White is broadly available at standard wine shops across Indiranagar, Koramangala, Whitefield, HSR Layout, and most other residential and commercial areas. The 750ml and 1 litre formats are reliably stocked at most stores. The 375ml is widely available. The 60ml miniature is available at larger format stores. Quick commerce delivery through Swiggy Instamart, Blinkit, and Zepto delivers across most Bangalore zones.
Smart Buying Tips for Bangalore Buyers
Always verify the MRP on the bottle label before paying — KSBCL pricing is fixed and all licensed stores must sell at or below this level. For the best per-millilitre value in Bangalore, the 1 litre bottle consistently outperforms the 750ml on a cost-per-unit basis. Serve Black and White at room temperature or with a single large ice cube — the whisky’s light, clean character is at its most pleasant when not over-diluted. For casual cocktails, Black and White is an excellent base spirit for a simple Scotch and soda or a light highball with ginger ale.
