Strathmill 2015 11 Year Old, Little Brown Dog

Strathmill may be tucked away at the side of the road in Keith, but this often-overlooked distillery produces a distillate that Little Brown Dog clearly thinks deserves more attention.

This expression was distilled in 2015 and matured for 11 years in an American oak cream sherry hogshead. Rather than overwhelming the spirit with heavy sherry influence, the cask has produced a more subtle and integrated style, resulting in a whisky that is rounded, clean and highly drinkable.

The label pays homage to the pied wagtail from Diageo's Flora & Fauna series, a range that introduced many whisky drinkers to classic distillery character through single malt bottlings.

As with Little Brown Dog's small batch and single cask releases, this whisky is bottled at cask strength, with natural colour and without chill filtration.
