A British Take on Bourbon
Debt Collector is crafted using a mash bill that consists of 75% corn, with the remainder made up of malted barley and rye. This high-corn composition mirrors classic bourbon profiles, offering a smooth, slightly sweet taste.
Matured for a minimum of three years in virgin, charred American oak casks, the whisky develops rich notes of vanilla, caramel, and warming spice. Bottled at 50% ABV (100 proof), it aligns with the robust character of traditional American bourbons.

A Grain-to-Bottle Approach
Doghouse Distillery takes a hands-on approach, managing every stage of production, from milling and mashing to fermentation, distillation, and maturation. This grain-to-bottle method ensures quality and authenticity in every batch.
Founder and Managing Director Braden Saunders, originally from Australia, has long been passionate about bourbon and wanted to bring that style to the UK. “High-corn whiskies are approachable and versatile, making them great for sipping neat or mixing into cocktails,” said Saunders.
