Drookit Dug 2 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…

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.
