Drookit Dug 3 Tasting Notes
A hugely approachable whisky with notes of honey and toast and a waxy character.
About this Little Brown Dog release
This is sharing whisky. Well, all whisky is sharing whisky, but this whisky is made especially for those moments, a group of friends round a table/campfire/bothy moments. Because the best whisky memories are more about the people we were with at the time and Andrew and Chris at Little Brown Dog wanted to make great whisky to go with those moments.
A cask strength session dram, made using stock from casks with a lower ABV and blended without dilution meaning much more texture and complexity from a lower, more approachable ABV.
One of Little Brown Dog's most popular whiskies, this is the exact same parcel of stock as the previous Drookit Dug release, but it’s been gently ticking along in some pretty quiet wood for another year so the age statement is now 9 years. Andrew and Chris didn’t want the profile to change a lot as they were already really happy with it. Think honey on buttered toast, and while the expression “smooth” isn't the best phrase, you know what we mean! Fresh, elegant and unpretentious.
A mixture of malt and grain, first and second fill bourbon and sherry casks. Andrew even bunged in a little 40 year old grain because he was having fun and got carried away. 9 years is just the minimum age.
The kind of whisky to share with friends, enjoyable for us whisky nerds and approachable for the whisky curious, a dram for all!
Drookit because the ABV is lower and definitely not a tasting note!
Honeycomb, sort of waxy looking label, wonder why…
