Littlemill 25 Year Old Private Cellar Edition 2015 Limited Release

Part of the Private Cellar Collection from Littlemill, this is the 25 Year Old Limited Edition released in 2015. A rare bottling of Littlemill Single Malt Scotch Whisky Produced from the distillers own stock. Littlemill distillery in the Lowlands shut its doors for the last time in 1994 and much of the buildings subsequently destroyed in a fire in 2004, therefore this release offers the connoisseurs the opportunity to acquire a piece of Lowland whisky history.
Distilled in 1990 (Littlemill’s final years), the whisky was initially matured in 10 American and European oak casks before being married and finished in first-fill Oloroso sherry casks, then bottled at cask strength.
The whisky is presented in an exquisite wooden case that contains a 50ml miniature, an encased section of stave from one of the maturing casks and a leaflet.
Only 1,500 bottles released.

    Nose:    A floral and herbaceous entrance, with raisin, caramel, tobacco, orange and hazelnut.

    Taste:    Fresh and suave, with raisin and sweet spices mixed with citrus acid drops.

    Finish:   Long, with an explosion of peppery spices and old dry wood.

Archibald & George Buchanan established Littlemill, Scotland’s first and oldest licensed whisky distillery in 1772. For over 220 years the Littlemill distillery remained firmly and proudly in place, until in 1994, when it closed and the stills of Littlemill finally fell silent. Three years later the distillery was largely dismantled.
Up until its final days, Littlemill Distillery continued to innovate and produce exceptional Lowland malt whisky of great character.
Michael Henry, Loch Lomond Group’s Master Blender is now responsible for safeguarding the last of the Littlemill’s liquid, preserving the distillery style and character ensuring the legacy of this wonderful distillery lives on in each expression. These whiskies will pay homage to the true Littlemill distillery character. And of course, allow the lucky few to taste the final legacy of Scotland’s oldest distillery.
