About this Little Brown Dog release

The infamous teaspoon. What must be one of the most frustrating processes in Scotch whisky, just so one cannot name the distillery, now with the added frustration that Little Brown cannot even use the trade name for the teaspooned malt. Bulk spirit in wood called BURNSIDE is teaspooned Balvenie. However, the trademark for Burnside in glass is owned by a different company, so here we have BURNADJACENT.

It’s really important for Andrew and Chris at LBD that they share as much as they can about each of the whiskies because you guys want to know, cask type, maturation duration, number of bottles, the very least they can tell you is what it is that you are drinking, and sometimes that isn’t easy.

Whiskies like this are what draws one further down the rabbit hole of whisky, the pursuit of well aged malts where something tropically magical happens after 30+ years. You can’t cheat whisky like this with wood, there is no short cut, you need time and a cask that does not overtake the spirit before these reactions can occur. It is a genuine privilege to be able to share whiskies like this with friends.

The label, it’s maybe become obvious over the years that Andrew and Chris are a little bit car obsessed so how do they manage to tie that in to Balvenie, err, sorry, Burnadjacent. David Mair and a few others used to cut about Speyside in a rather fetching cream over tan Balvenie branded Morgan sports car. The leather bonnet straps and hand crafted ash chassis seemed to fit less awkwardly as a brand collaboration than some of the more modern machinery brands align with these days.

How much is shipping?

Shipping charges are calculated during checkout, depending on where you live and how many bottles you’re buying. It's usually more cost effective to ship two or more bottles, particularly for international orders. The perfect excuse to treat yourself to an extra bottle!

What about taxes?

All alcoholic products sold by TopWhiskies are sold subject to UK alcohol tax, which is already included in the price.

UK sales are subject to VAT (currently 20%), which is included in the price. Sales outside of the UK are not subject to this tax, and international prices do not include it.

We use a specialist US shipper who sorts out US taxes. These costs are factored into the US shipping charges. So shipping may look pricey, but remember it covers your taxes as well, so there'll be no further bills to pay. US Customs takes two to three weeks to complete, after which your parcel will arrive at your door as if it were a normal delivery.

For all other territories, including those in Europe, please note: your order could be subject to local sales taxes and duties upon arrival in the destination country. All additional charges are the responsibility of the recipient. As customs policies vary widely from country to country, TopWhiskies has no control over these charges, so you should contact your local customs office for further information. If you refuse to pay any import duties and taxes, this could result in the goods being destroyed by customs or being returned back to us - any refund offered would include a deduction of our costs.

Which couriers do you use?

In the UK we use Royal Mail, Parcelforce and APC. US orders are sent via UPS. International orders use FedEx and DHL. Orders are despatched from our UK warehouse Mondays to Fridays, excluding public holidays.

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.
