The Last Drops

That’s a subtle way of saying there’s hardly any left…

The Last Drops

We like to think every whisky we bottle is something special. By that we mean it’s been hand-selected, there’s something we really like about it and we feel we’re bottling it at the perfect moment. But all good things must come to an end and for three of our recent premium releases we’re down to only a few bottles left. We can’t make anymore of these, the casks have been emptied, so if you miss out don’t say we didn’t tell you.

LIMITED NUMBERS AVAILABLE

As ever at Little Brown Dog we are only able to bottle a small number of each of our releases. We choose them carefully, each one is a spirit we’d drink ourselves, each one is different, there’s something special about it, that’s why we chose it. We like nothing better than talking about whisky and answering any questions you might have, so find us on social media. All of our available releases are on our website too.

Biodiversity Achievement of the Year Award

We’re delighted to share that we have been awarded Biodiversity Achievement of the Year at the Global Drinks Intel ESG Awards 2025.

This recognition celebrates the success of our Wetlands Ecological Treatment System first championed by our Founder, Daniel Szor and lovingly cared for by our Head of Production, Alice Pearson and her incredible team. What began as a practical solution made possible by Berry Brothers & Rudd and Rachel White Designs has evolved into something truly special: a living landscape of wildflower meadows, native hedgerows and wetlands now home to bats, owls, herons and pollinators alike.

It’s a reminder that craft and care go hand in hand, and that protecting our place in the world can be as rewarding as making what’s in the glass.

Chivas Regal Honours The Driving Force Behind Scuderia Ferrari Hp In New Film: ‘A Tribute To The Scuderia Ferrari Hp Pit Crew’

Drivers usually take the centre stage – but every lap is a team effort, both on and off the track. Now, luxury Scotch whisky Chivas Regal is putting some of the unsung heroes of Scuderia Ferrari HP in the spotlight with the launch of, ‘A Tribute to the Scuderia Ferrari HP Pit Crew.’

Unveiled at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza, the powerful new film honours the tenacious crew who build together behind the scenes and reflects Chivas Regal’s belief that success is built on teamwork.

This launch marks the latest chapter in Chivas Regal’s ongoing partnership with Scuderia Ferrari HP – a collaboration that reflects shared values of passion, determination and ambition and celebrates a collective pursuit of excellence. It offers fans a glimpse into the high-stakes precision of a Scuderia Ferrari HP pit stop – a world where milliseconds define outcomes, and persistence is everything.

Fans can watch a choreographed routine inspired by the pit crews meticulous performance – a feat of human and mechanical precision – mirroring the dedication poured into every bottle of Chivas Regal.

Scuderia Ferrari HP Team Principal, Fred Vasseur, came together with Chivas Regal to pay tribute to the pit crew.

“Formula 1 is a team sport in every sense, and our results come from the dedication of everyone at Scuderia Ferrari HP. It’s great to have a partner like Chivas Regal, who highlights this collective spirit and recognises the incredible work done away from the spotlight” said Vasseur.

“I’m always drawn to the voices we don’t usually hear, so it is an honour to tell the stories of these unsung heroes,” said George the Poet. “Whether it’s a poem or a pit stop, craftsmanship takes tenacity. That’s exactly what Chivas Regal captured in this tribute.”

“True greatness is driven by the hands of many. This campaign embodies our I Rise We Rise ethos and focuses on the people who build together and set the team up for greatness behind the scenes.” said Nick Blacknell, Global Marketing Director, Chivas Regal. “The Scuderia Ferrari HP team shares our tenacious mindset and belief that success is built on teamwork – and that’s what makes our partnership so powerful.”

DISTINCT, RICH, MULTI-LAYERED

SPEYSIDE SINGLE MALTS SINCE 1898

Earlier this week, we presented a range of selections from our Speyside Single Malt collection, most of which reflect the region’s characteristic unpeated “heather-and-honey” personality. Today, we cast the spotlight on a single producer from the region which veers from that tradition by, among other things, incorporating peat into their process.

Situated on a ruggedly beautiful old farm site in north Speyside, the Benriach Distillery has a unique whisky-making heritage that traces back to its founding in 1898. Central to the distinct character of Benriach’s offerings is its own captive water source: a mineral-rich aquifer that sits deep beneath the distillery. During the mashing process in which the barley’s starch is converted into fermentable sugar, they use four batches of that water, instead of the usual three used by most distillers, to maximize the sweetness of the malt. The high level of sweetness from the barley, alongside the mineral rich purity of the water, serves to unlock the signature orchard fruit notes that characterize their whiskies.

Also distinct to their process is a long-standing tradition of distilling three styles of whisky: classic unpeated, Highland peated and triple distilled, together with an eclectic selection of casks from around the world. This enables their whisky-makers, under the guidance of esteemed Master Blender Dr Rachel Barrie, to explore a vast range of flavor possibilities and to create some of the richest, most multi-layered whiskies in Speyside.

We invite you to explore our current Benriach selections which reflect varied distillation styles, cask selections, and aging protocols. As you may also happily note, in addition to their distinct quality and character, they represent true values in this era of ever-escalating prices.
