About this Little Brown Dog release

Andrew and Chris love Glentauchers. If they were in a position to buy any Speyside distillery, which they hasten to add they're not, then they'd buy Glentauchers. This cask was originally good, spirit mature whisky, but it lacked character or depth, something a good wood finish would help. Andrew and Chris paired it with the Pineau des Charantes sweet dessert wine cask to add fruit and richness. The result is a fruity, sweet, rich peachy dram, hence the peaches on the label.

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.
