About this Little Brown Dog release
This is a limited edition release that forms part of Little Brown Dog’s Experimental Spirit Series. To create unique spirit, Andrew took his silky, rich, Aberdeenshire Foraged Gin, and matured it for 7 months in a sweet vermouth cask. The result is the best gin for a Negroni, ever!
Intense, complex and luxuriously intricate gin. Meticulously constructed with the aim of turning your negroni up to 11.
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.
For a negroni it’ll stand up to the 1:1:1 ratio of gin, vermouth and amaro, or be controversial and experiment with reduced amounts of vermouth, or even no vermouth - you absolute rebel, you.
360 bottles from a single cask, this is a one-off, never to be repeated again.
About Negronis
A Negroni is a classic Italian cocktail renowned for its bold and bittersweet flavor profile. Traditionally composed of equal parts gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari, this aperitif is both simple and sophisticated. The ingredients are stirred with ice, then strained into a chilled glass, often garnished with an orange peel to enhance its citrus notes. The Negroni's origins trace back to early 20th century Florence, where it was first crafted by Count Camillo Negroni, who requested a stronger version of his favourite cocktail, the Americano. Its vibrant red hue and complex taste make the Negroni a timeless favourite among cocktail enthusiasts worldwide.
Little Brown Dog's #projectNEGRONIDEFINITIVO is tailored-made to make a truly exceptional negroni.
