Little Brown Dog Spirits Limited is an independent bottler and micro distillery based in rural Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Their name comes from Andrew’s beloved dog, who’s 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 formed the company in 2018. Based on Chris’s farm we combine a passion for our surrounding area with in depth knowledge of distilling and cask maturation. The goal is simple, make the best tasty things. Whether that’s selecting the best single, most interesting single casks, or bringing a level of detail and transparency to rectified distilled spirits that is quite uncommon. The distillery is smaller than most. They distill and bottle on site using a 10 litre copper pot still, called the wee dug, and a 100 litre big dug for the rectification of GNS. They have modified the still to operate as they want them and have manuafctured their own cooling systems and copper botanical basket to gently extract the aromatics in the fresh botanicals.
