Little Brown Dog Spirits
Ballindalloch 10 Years Old 2016
ABV: 58.1% 70 cL
Distilled in 2016 at Ballindalloch, the estate farm distillery on the banks of the Spey in the heart of Speyside. Ballindalloch's spirit is fresh, fruity and clean, with plenty of character of its own.
This single first fill bourbon hogshead is one Little Brown Dog have been pointing out to visitors for a couple of years. The cask was teaspooned with just 10ml of Mannochmore, so it has to be labelled as a blended malt, but you can taste that it is almost entirely Ballindalloch. They bottled it at 10 years old, when the freshness of the spirit had come into balance with the maturity of the wood.
Teaspooning means adding a tiny amount of another distillery's whisky to a cask so it can no longer be sold as a single malt under the original distillery's name. A first fill bourbon hogshead is a cask being used for Scotch for the first time after holding American whiskey, giving generous vanilla and sweetness while still letting the spirit lead.
Little Brown Dog describe it as one of the casks they got most excited about, a whisky where the distillate stays front and centre rather than being overtaken by the cask. The label features Biggles, a nod to the many Biggles books written at Ballindalloch Castle, with the Gaelic name used for the release.
Aged 10 years and bottled on 6 October 2026, this single cask was bottled at natural cask strength.
