LBD Aberdeenshire Foraged Gin Bennachie Autumn Edition is a London Dry Scottish Gin from Little Brown Dog Spirits that combines classic botanicals with foraged, seasonal ingredients from Bennachie hillsides and woodlands. Juniper, coriander seed, and angelica root form the backbone, while rowan berries, rosehips, brambles, chanterelle mushrooms and hazelnuts add autumnal depth, warmth and texture, capturing the season's richness. This limited-edition expression was created to raise funds for the Bailies of Bennachie charity, which cares for the Aberdeenshire landmark Bennachie, a site important for its fauna, insects, and archaeology, with sites on the hill and in the surrounding landscape dating back to the Picts.
Tasting Notes
Flavours
Nose
On the nose, bright juniper and soft berry notes lead, with earthy chanterelle and gentle hazelnut following.
Taste
Bramble fruit, rosehip sweetness and a tart rowan lift, balanced by pine and spice. A subtle savoury undertone grounds the fruit, adding complexity.
Finish
Long, warming and evocative of autumn walks, with lingering berry, soft pine resin and a final hint of woodland earth.
How to enjoy this gin
A few raspberries, tonic and ice.
About Little Brown Dog Spirits
Little Brown Dog Spirits was officially established in 2018 by vet and whisky connoisseur Andrew Smith and farmer Chris Reid in rural Aberdeenshire. Andrew had used the name Little Brown Dog to label original whisky bottling samples he shared with friends and the name came from Andrew’s pet dog who travels with him to tasting events and distillery visits.
Little Brown Dog Spirits is a creative hub for distilling spirits with its own stills for experimental, small batch distillations along with a larger still for bigger spirit runs. The Little Brown Dog Spirits team is focused on creating spirits with true provenance through the use of locally foraged botanicals. Enjoying the independence of creating unique and experimental spirits, including gin, the team plan on releasing a number of one-off limited edition spirits.
Production
Little Brown Dog Spirits Distillery, a micro-distillery in rural Aberdeenshire, is a stone’s throw from the local landmark of Bennachie. The distillery focuses on flavour and producing innovative spirits, including gin, that combine provenance and break down some of the traditions associated with the world of spirits. The distillery is home to a 100 litre traditional Alembic copper pot still named ‘Big Dug’ along with a smaller 10 litre development still fittingly named ‘Wee Dug’.
