Little Brown Dog Celebrates Its 100th Whisky Release!

100 releases. One Little Brown Dog. And a rather special collection of whisky! 🐾

Our good friends Andrew and Chris at Little Brown Dog Spirits have reached a pretty impressive milestone – their 100th whisky release!

From humble beginnings in an Aberdeenshire garage to becoming one of Scotland's most exciting independent bottlers, Little Brown Dog have built a reputation for finding brilliant casks, producing fantastic whisky and not taking themselves too seriously along the way.

To celebrate, they've put together a cracking collection of limited-edition bottlings to round off 2026.

We're delighted to have secured an allocation at The Strong Water Co., with seven new releases going live at 12pm -  Wednesday 4th November 2026.

And there are some absolute belters in the lineup!

Glen Ord 2013 – 13 Year Old

54.1% ABV | £75 | 546 Bottles

The 100th release! And a particularly meaningful one for Andrew.

Glen Ord has long held a special place in his family, with happy memories of sharing drams with his late father and father-in-law.

Two hogsheads have been brought together and married in an Oloroso puncheon for a year, creating a fitting tribute for Little Brown Dog's 100th release.

And they've even treated us to a shiny gold capsule. Very fancy indeed!

Shop Glen Ord 2013 – £75

Ballindalloch 2016 – 10 Year Old

58.1% ABV | £70 | 361 Bottles

A rather exciting Speyside release from a first-fill bourbon hogshead.

Technically a blended malt thanks to a tiny addition of Mannochmore, this is a cask the Little Brown Dog team have been keeping an eye on for years.

A brilliant opportunity to pick up something a little different from one of Speyside's smaller distilleries.

Shop Ballindalloch 2016 – £70

Bruichladdich 2012 – 14 Year Old

56.1% ABV | £89 | 172 Bottles

One of the smallest releases in the collection!

This UK-exclusive Bruichladdich has spent its full 14 years maturing in an Amarone wine barrique.

With only 172 bottles produced, we don't expect this one to hang around for long.

Shop Bruichladdich 2012 – £89

Burnadjacent 1989 – 36-Year-Old

47.5% ABV | £160 | Approximately 320 Bottles

Yes, you read that correctly. 36-year-old whisky for £160!

The first release of this cleverly named teaspooned Balvenie proved incredibly popular, with demand far exceeding the number of bottles available.

Thankfully, the team managed to secure a sister cask, giving those who missed out another opportunity.

We suspect this will be one of the first to disappear!

Shop Burnadjacent 1989 – £160

North British 1996 – 30 Year Old

47.5% ABV | £75 | 479 Bottles

Thirty-year-old single grain whisky for £75. What's not to like?

Distilled in Edinburgh in 1996 and matured in a Colheita Port pipe, this is a cracking example of the value that older single grain whisky can offer.

And the label? A brilliant nod to Trainspotting, with Little Brown Dog's own take on Choose Life.

Shop North British 1996 – £75

Aberdeenshire Single Malt – Cask Strength Limited Edition

12 Year Old | 55.4% ABV | £65 | 500 Bottles

A little bit of home!

Following the success of their Aberdeenshire Single Malt, Little Brown Dog have released a limited cask-strength edition.

Made using Glen Garioch whisky and featuring a selection of casks including refill PX and Oloroso puncheons, this is a brilliant celebration of our local whisky heritage.

Just 500 individually numbered bottles have been produced.

Shop Aberdeenshire Cask Strength – £65

Pequeño Perrito Marrón – Pedro Ximénez Sherry

15% ABV | 37.5cl | £20 | 533 Bottles

And now for something a little different!

After bottling plenty of heavily sherried whiskies, Andrew and Chris have decided to cut out the middleman and bottle the sherry itself.

Sourced from Bodega Pérez Barquero in Spain, this Pedro Ximénez is a fun addition to the collection and a great opportunity to explore the wine behind some of our favourite sherry-cask whiskies.
