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.

Just poured a dram and got hit with big, fat, syrupy and swollen fruitiness – superbly fruity, with orange juice, mango and a whisper of bitter marmalade. There's a lovely crystallised exotic and citrus fruit vibe, almost like sherbet lemons with wee threads of honey. A touch of grappa‑like sharpness and thicker notes of camphor linger, while the grassy side feels wonderfully nervous and direct. The finish is long, with orange coloured flavours and a polished cereal core rather oily, keeping it luscious. A funny mix of styles but it works.

Had a pale gold dram that felt like a sunny citrus garden in a glass, bright lemony zing with a hint of kiwi and a whisper of coriander. The bitterness was on point, not sharp but satisfying, like a fresh cut of citrus peel. A sweet vanilla‑fudge tail lingered long and mellow, almost like a late‑evening lull. I felt like I’d just discovered a new favourite for my cupboard – brilliant and surprisingly alien. 😋

This dram's a proper pale gold in the glass, and the first sniff hits you with this brilliant citrus punch—like someone's squeezed a whole bunch of lemons and kiwis right under your nose. It's got this greatly bitter edge that clings to the tongue, but not in a harsh way. Reminds me of those fancy lemon liqueurs you get in posh bars, but stripped back, more honest. There's a whisper of vanilla fudge in there too, and something almost extraterrestrial—like if you took a sip of limoncello and then got slapped with a ginger snap. The finish goes on forever, proper long, with a hint of cardamom that makes you think of an old Orangerie. Rare vintage stuff, this. perfect for anyone who’s already got a shelf full of malts but wants something that’ll make them sit up and say, "Right, what’s this then?" No more Cointreau nonsense here—just pure, citrusy magic. 🍋✨

Blimey, that’s a proper fruit bomb! Like sipping liquid marmalade with a zing of sherbet lemons and a whiff of fresh-cut grass. There’s this weird metallic tang too, like old coins left in the sun. Then it hits you with banana and kumquat, all syrupy and lush, but with a dry, chalky edge. Finishes long, with a hint of meadow herbs and a touch of that sharp, almost nervous grassiness. Proper exotic, this one 🍊✨
