About the Producer Littlemill

Scotland, Lowlands. Distillery closed. Owner: Loch Lomond Group

Closed in 1994 and ravaged by fire in 2004, Littlemill's most prosperous years - compared to the period that followed - ran until the end of the 1990s.Despite the evident young age of the classic versions released by the distillery, ranging from 5 to 8 years, some vintages interspersed the 80s and 90s, including a 1964 and a 1975 vintage presented in a stocky, green bottle (1990s). These were accompanied by two very rare 30 year old versions released at the very start of the 1980s (distilled in the early 50s), including one limited to 87 decanters worldwide produced for the Italian importer F&G Bruino, with an ABV of 38.5%.
