Littlemill 24 Years Old 1989 Cask #42 (Archives)

Archives is the single-cask label of Whiskybase, the online database beloved of collectors. Filled in 1989 and bottled in 2014, the whisky is a 24 year old Littlemill, from cask 42, from the Voyage dans l'Amérique Méridionale range. What remains is all that ever will, the distillery long since lost.

Twenty-four years in ex-Bourbon frame the creamy, vanilla-rich spirit.

At 53%, undiluted, the American oak lends vanilla and a buttery note. Expect a hay-like note, honey, vanilla. Oak lactones and lignin-derived vanillin build the vanilla-and-coconut signature, the gentle American-oak tannins keeping it soft.
