K&L Liquors’ 7 Year Old Every Drop “Living Legend” Batch No. KY-03-25 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
(750ml) $49.99 View
David Othenin-Girard
There are few professional moments more gratifying than the work Iâve done on the recent releases of our new K&L Every Drop brand. This historic label, which predates the founding of our store by many decades, fell into my lap thanks to a thoughtful customer who won a little mini from the 1940s at auction and passed it my way. So when the opportunity arose to create a new, store-exclusive brand, I knew this magnificent, long-forgotten IP had to be revived. We painstakingly reimagined every detail of the label, staying faithful to the original design. From its classic clean lines to the timeless tagline âSupreme Qualityâ stretching across each bottleâs shoulders, it perfectly reflects our ethos.
The labelâs revival was inspired by an exceptional batch of rare bourbon that we had acquired by a stroke of good fortune: a great old whiskey from Frankfort, followed shortly by a second release of the same. But how could we continue producing whiskies that lived up to those extraordinary beginnings? My premise was never that Every Drop must be mythical in rarity, but that every bottleâyes, every dropâshould offer our customers an experience of unmistakable quality, unique character, and unmatched value.

The Last Drops
Thatâs a subtle way of saying thereâs hardly any leftâŠ
The Last Drops
We like to think every whisky we bottle is something special. By that we mean itâs been hand-selected, thereâs something we really like about it and we feel weâre bottling it at the perfect moment. But all good things must come to an end and for three of our recent premium releases weâre down to only a few bottles left. We canât make anymore of these, the casks have been emptied, so if you miss out donât say we didnât tell you.
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 weâd drink ourselves, each one is different, thereâs something special about it, thatâs 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
Weâre 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.
Itâs a reminder that craft and care go hand in hand, and that protecting our place in the world can be as rewarding as making whatâs in the glass.
