Littlemill, 45 Years Old
Littlemill marked what would have been its 250th anniversary with its oldest release to date, a 45 Year Old single malt limited to 250 decanters. Drawn from the lost Lowland distillery’s final stocks and overseen by Loch Lomond Group master blender Michael Henry, the whisky was finished briefly in oloroso sherry to honour Littlemill’s historic style. Silky, gently sherried and contemplative, it served as a final tribute to Scotland’s oldest licensed distillery.

Stewed berries, leather and pencil shavings dominate the nose before dried tea leaves and orange zest appear with time. The palate is silky with crème caramel, citrus and deeper oloroso notes of cinnamon and stewed berries. The long finish dries gently with Christmas spice and pencil shavings.
