Little Brown Dog Gin

Little Brown Dog is best known for its rare whisky bottlings, but the company's gin has its own small cult following. Botanicals hang in copper baskets overnight while the vapours slowly draw oils and flavour from each herb. The result is a gin carrying the same attention to detail the brand is known for in the whisky world.

    The independent bottler Little Brown Dog produces their own gin at the distillery and bottles it under their own brand - all bottles are adorned with the little brown dog, which is the company's hallmark. LBD Gin is the signature Scottish gin from Little Brown Dog Spirits. The dry botanicals are allowed to steep in base alcohol for twelve hours overnight before the fresh botanicals are added the following day. Using custom copper botanical baskets, which are hung in the neck of the still, the vapors slowly rise and pass through the fresh botanicals, carefully extracting oils and flavor compounds, along with the flavors released from the steeped botanicals. Botanicals include a blend of locally sourced and cultivated botanicals as well as some imported botanicals. These include juniper, coriander, wood sorrel, rhubarb, birch sap, and parsnip. The result is a gin rich in juniper, with waves of citrus, floral, and woodland notes, rounded off with a hint of petrichor.

About Little Brown Dog Gin

Little Brown Dog Gin is the side project from the Scottish independent bottler of the same name, known for a careful botanical infusion process using copper baskets. For newcomers it's a juniper-forward, citrus-fresh gin with woodland nuances; commercially it's a small but characterful release from a name built first and foremost on its whisky reputation.

History & Background

The brand started as an independent whisky bottler, a niche where it's still best known, but expanded into gin as a way to showcase the house's broader distilling craft.

Production & Style

Dry botanicals steep overnight in the base spirit, after which fresh botanicals are added in a copper basket so the vapours pass through them, picking up their oils along the way.

Signature Style

Delicate, Aromatic, Scottish
A soft, vapour-infused aroma profile, where botanicals from the copper basket give a more delicate character than a traditional boiled distillation.

Did You Know?

Hanging fresh botanicals in a copper basket instead of boiling them directly in the spirit is a technique usually associated with more experimental, craft-driven distilleries.
