Aberdeenshire Glen Garioch 12 year old Little Brown Dog Single Malt Scotch Whisky 46%

Aberdeenshire pre‑production preview whisky 46%

Andrew and Chris from Little Brown Dog have shared a long‑term goal: to create a whisky that doesn’t just appear in small, rare batches, but one that whisky drinkers can reliably find on the shelves. The result of that ambition is their upcoming Aberdeenshire Single Malt – based on a 12‑year‑old Glen Garioch bottled at 46%. This edition is an exclusive preview version, fitted with a handwritten and hand‑signed label, as the printed labels simply didn’t arrive in time. The following batches will, of course, feature the final design.

The whisky is non‑chill filtered, naturally coloured, and crafted through LBD’s own cask management and blending philosophy. The vatting consists of 60% first‑fill bourbon casks and 40% sherry casks (PX and oloroso, both refill and first‑fill), giving it a style that differs noticeably from an official Glen Garioch. The aim is to create a signature single malt that combines LBD’s uncompromising focus on quality with a more accessible price and genuine availability in shops.

This preview release is limited to 500 bottles, each individually hand‑numbered. It is a whisky that works beautifully as an everyday dram, yet has enough depth to be shared on special occasions. A bottle made for good company – and for giving whisky fans an early taste of what will become Little Brown Dog’s first permanent release.
