It has taken podium finishes at the Scottish Gin Awards, the Gin Cooperative Awards, and the World Gin Awards along the way. This release arrives in Little Brown Dog's new label, redesigned to echo their Aberdeenshire Single Malt look.

The name belongs to Andrew's dog, who has accompanied him to tastings and distillery visits for years. From an on-farm micro distillery at Fetternear, they distill, blend, and bottle a small range of whiskies, gin, and rum under a philosophy they call \u003cstrong\u003etraditionally unconventional\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir defining trait is radical transparency: methods, ingredient origins, and batch data are published rather than hidden, and Scottish whisky-making discipline is applied to everything they touch. The Whiskey Lab already imports six of their whiskies. This gin completes the picture: the same hands, the same standards, a different still run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"twl-grid\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"twl-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBotanicals, fully disclosed\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLittle Brown Dog forages what they can, grows what they cannot forage, and buys only what would be unsustainable to source locally.
