About this Little Brown Dog whisky

Refill bourbon barrel-matured Bowmore, certainly one of my favourite Islay distilleries. Bit more peat oomph than you normally get from Bowmore, wonderfully fruity before becoming a bit more umami and gorgeous texture.

Andrew and Chris were pulling cask samples recently in Little Brown Dog’s warehouse, and this particular cask had a very unique character, one so unique they marked it with a (very rough) sketch of a roast chicken.

They’re not going to win any art prizes any time soon, but yeah, chicken cask, more specifically, roast chicken flavoured crisps. Which explains why the label artwork is a crisp packet. It’s one of the (many) things we all love about single cask and small batch whiskies, unique characters that can’t be replicated.

Meet The Founders

Dr Andrew Smith and Chris Reid

Little Brown Dog Spirits was founded by Dr Andrew Smith and Chris Reid. They run an independent bottler and micro-distillery based in rural Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

They take their name from Andrew’s beloved dog, whose nickname was the little brown dog. She followed him everywhere on all his distillery visits and was his constant companion. She passed away in 2022 aged 15 but lives on in spirit. Two more little brown dogs, Winnie and Peedie joined the team in 2020 and 2023.

Chris and Andrew started Little Brown Dog in 2018. Based on Chris’s farm they combine a passion for their surrounding area with in-depth knowledge (read intense geekery!) of distilling and cask maturation.
