Littlemill 27 Year Old 2017 Release, 51.3% abv

Produced from eight casks distilled in May 1990, the Private Cellar Edition has been matured in refill Bourbon casks and married in first-fill Bourbon barrels for a further 12 months, before being bottled at 51.3% abv.

Michael Henry, master blender for Loch Lomond, has enhanced Littlemill’s distillery character – light floral notes, reminiscent of its triple-distillation era – to create a ‘unique and historic experience’.

He said: ‘It’s a tragedy that the distillery fell silent and was later destroyed by fire, committing Littlemill to legend.

‘Once the last precious drops are consumed, an important part of Scotland’s and Scotch whisky’s heritage will be lost forever.’

Only 500 bottles globally.
