Tasting Notes:

Littlemill 1990 @ 50% alc.vol (US 100% proof)
An excellent whisky. Displays all the characteristics and subtle nuances of a Lowland Malt. Delicate sweet, light nose. Malty palate has hints of fruit and toasted marshmallow. Develops easily with gentle spicy notes. Dry and clean finish with hints of spices and warmth.

Status: Open

Established in 1772, the Littlemill distillery is considered to be perhaps the oldest distillery in Scotland – especially as recent evidence points to distilling in1750. It sources its water from the Kilpatrick Hill springs and like the Rosebank distillery it is located near the Forth-Clyde Canal - close to the Auchentoshan distillery between Glasgow and Dumbarton. Following the Lowland tradition, Littlemill was triple-distilled until the 1930s when it switched to double-distillation and a Saladin Box system of malting. The double ventilation towers over a single drying kiln remain a one-off in Scotland.

Different heads on identical pot-still bases give variations on the resulting spirit types and until the 1970s Littlemill distillery had 3 different whiskies:-

‘Dumbuck’ – a heavily peated malt
‘Dunglass’ – a complex malt with a hint of peat
‘Littlemill’ – a light and soft, delicate malt with hints of vanilla

Today there is only Littlemill.
