Littlemill 27 Years Old 1992 Closed Distilleries (Cadenhead’s)

Cadenhead's was founded in Aberdeen in 1842 and is Scotland's oldest independent bottler, now based in Campbeltown. Distilled in 1992, this 27 year old Littlemill was bottled in 2019. A finite legacy from a vanished distillery, growing rarer with each bottling.

Twenty-seven years in ex-Bourbon frame Littlemill's soft orchard-fruit spirit.

Bottled at cask strength, 49.8%, the American oak lends vanilla and a buttery note. Expect fresh fruit, old wood, vanilla, citrus, cooked fruit, honey. A refill barrel works slowly: vanillin for vanilla, lactones for coconut, and oxidation building soft orchard fruit. At this age the angel's share has done its quiet work: in humid Scottish warehouses alcohol leaves faster than water, easing the strength and concentrating the flavour.
