Littlemill 1976 45 años Single Malt Whisky

Littlemill is widely regarded as potentially Scotland's oldest licensed malt whisky distillery, with origins tracing back to the 1750s. Officially established in 1772 by Glasgow merchant George Buchanan following his acquisition of the Auchterlonie estate, the distillery occupied a strategic location between the River Clyde and the main railway line, adjacent to Bowling railway station. Though the distillery ceased operations in 1994 and was tragically destroyed by fire in 2004, its rare remaining stocks have become highly coveted collector's items. The official bottling, a 27-year-old expression released in Summer 2017, represents one of the final opportunities to experience this historic Lowland single malt. Independent bottler Hunter Laing has also released several notable expressions, including a 24-year-old 'Pearls of Scotland' distilled in 1991 and a 27-year-old distilled in 1988, both showcasing the distillery's characteristic delicate, floral profile.
