Description

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. The original elements of the gin have been given additional layers of complexity flavour with notes of zesty orange and gentle spices to create a cask aged Scottish Gin that can be enjoyed neat over ice or makes a fantastic flavour base for a classic Negroni cocktail. The NAVS, which all those years ago was the defendant in the ‘Brown Dog Trial’, had succeeded in bringing the attention of the public to the suffering of laboratory animals, and still believes today that vivisection can only continue whilst it is carried out in secret. We'll then head back to the distillery for a tutored tasting of some of our gins (with driver's drams available in bottles if required). Although their distillery is tiny, comprising a 10 litre pot still and a larger 100-litre still for rectifying neutral grain spirits, Little Brown Dog have made a virtue of their small size and rural location.

A barrister by profession, Coleridge came from a distinguished family, which had connections with many influential people. The descriptive writing was spot on and I really felt that I was transported back to Victorian London and breathing the air of the characters.

A family run business founded in 2008, Abbey Whisky is an award winning online whisky retailer specialising in exclusive, rare and old whiskies from the great distilleries of Scotland and around the world. Based on Chris’s farm they combine a passion for their surrounding area with in-depth knowledge (read intense geekery) of distilling and cask maturation. They decided to show their diary, which was now a substantial manuscript, to the Honorary Secretary of the National Anti-Vivisection Society, the Hon. An attempt to persuade Battersea Metropolitan Borough Council to sanction the proposal to remove the inscription failed; most councillors believed that the inscription was based upon fact.

The gin features a number of botanicals foraged from the hill including gorse, heather, lingonberry, blaeberry and wild raspberry. Of course, Stovies wouldn't be complete without a side of beetroot and an oatcake or two, so some black pepper and oats were also to the distillation, with the oats grown on the farm next to the distillery. The dry botanicals are left for twelve hours to steep in the base alcohol overnight before the fresh botanicals are added the next day. The story of the Brown Dog and his memorial goes back to December 1902, when Professor Starling at University College London performed his first operation on the terrier dog, depriving it of the use of its pancreas.LBD Project AFG Gin Micro Batch Scottish Gin also features classic gin botanicals including juniper, coriander and angelica. It described how the supposedly serious business of vivisection demonstrations in medical schools were often no more than entertainments. Whether that’s selecting the most interesting single casks, or bringing a level of detail and transparency to rectified distilled spirits that is quite uncommon. Combining their skills as distillers, with their experience of cask management, Andrew and Chris have balanced the petrichor and juniper of their Aberdeenshire Foraged Gin, with the gentle spice and orange zest flavours that have developed maturing in the vermouth cask.

Part of the distillery's Experimental Spirit Series, this is cask strength, single cask, non chill filtered, natural colour, no added nothing, single cask gin. We recommend sensible footwear, weather appropriate clothing, the what3words app installed on your phone and an appetite for intense geekery!We deliver to Australia, Canada (Alberta), China, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Greece, Guernsey, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Jersey, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macao, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Philippines, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Taiwan, UK, US (certain states*), and Vietnam. Really liked the start of this and as a South Londoner appreciate this bit of history being resurrected.
