About this Little Brown Dog release

The little brother of Little Brown Dog's well-loved Wee Mongrel. Blended Scotch whisky from two sherry butts with a high malt content. Andrew and Chris have called it drookit dug because the ABV has dropped a fair bit in a short time, it’s still cask strength but at the very approachable ABV of 43.6%

This is just good honest sherried whisky. The kind of bottle to share with family or a few mates over a good old chin wag and a catch up. A cask strength session dram, as it were.

These butts were filled in 2011 with the same blend of Scotch whiskies, and just mixed together for bottling.

Low ABV, heavy breathing, casks tend to be excellent whisky. Rather than achieving a reduction in ABV by dilution, casks that drop like this on their own have a great texture with no dilution of flavour and greater maturity.
