Little Brown Dog Spirits

Bruichladdich 14 Years Old 2012

ABV: 56.1% 70 cL

Distilled in 2012 at Bruichladdich, on the shores of Loch Indaal on the Isle of Islay. Unlike many of its neighbours, Bruichladdich's classic spirit is unpeated, with a buttery, fruity and oily character.

This is a single Amarone barrique, full-term matured, and a UK exclusive release from Little Brown Dog. There simply isn't enough of it to share with their export customers, so it's being kept for the UK market.

Amarone della Valpolicella is a rich, powerful red wine from the Veneto in northern Italy, made from grapes left to dry for months before pressing to concentrate their sugars and flavour. Barriques are small casks of around 225 litres, so the spirit gets more wood contact and a more intense influence from the cask.

Spending its whole life in the Amarone barrique has layered a jammy richness over the buttery, fatty Bruichladdich spirit. The label features a stencil of the actual jeep Chris from Little Brown Dog built and drove all the way to Islay for the distillery.

Aged 14 years and bottled on 6 October 2026, this single cask was bottled at cask strength.

The Bruichladdich name comes from the Scottish Gaelic 'Bruthach a' Chladaich', which means brae by the shore. The distillery was founded in 1881 by the Harvey Brothers. The distillery changed hands many times until 1994 when it was shut down as 'surplus to requirements’. It remained mothballed until December 2000, when it was purchased by private investors. It took nearly six months to resume the distillation, as Bruichladdich had never seen any modernisation efforts from the previous owners. In 2012, it was taken over by Remy Cointreau. Today, Bruichladdich produces three different styles of whisky: their classic unpeated under the name Bruichladdich, heavily seated port Charlotte and the world’s most peaty malt - Octomore.
