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.

Pale gold in the glass, first sip’s got these wee threads of honey and something like grappa, a bit tangy. Then it blooms into this big, fat, syrupy fruitiness – ripe grapefruit, mango, even a bit of kiwi and lime pith. 🍊 There’s a taut, punchy grassy quality underneath, like fresh-cut lawn. Can’t ignore that thicker note of camphor and a hint of steel wool, like a polished cereal core. It’s wonderfully nervous and direct. Finish brings bitter marmalade, orange bitters, sherbet lemons, and a curious touch of chalk or coins. Luscious, really. The whole thing’s a superbly fruity ride with gentle herbal tones. 🍯

刚倒出来,淡金色的酒液看着就挺诱人。闻起来全是柠檬和柑橘的味道,直接让我想到limoncello和那些柠檬利口酒。第一口有点苦,但苦得舒服,慢慢尝出小豆蔻和香菜的香,还有点香草太妃糖的甜。喝完后余味好长,整体感觉太棒了,简直就是个spectacular whisky。对像我这样柜子里已经有好几瓶不同麦芽酒的人来说,完美,再也不用想念Cointreau了。😊

倒进杯里就闻到很香的热带水果味,像进了个水果摊,有西柚芒果还有菠萝那种混合的香气,底下藏着点烤麦子和一点金属似的清凉。 喝起来油油的,甜得直接,青柠和葡萄柚的皮在嘴里蹦出来,夹着蜂蜜。中段有点草本植物的味道,像新鲜的草叶上沾着露水,还有点薄荷似的凉。 回味有点苦橙酱和青柠皮的感觉,但又被香蕉的甜裹住了。喝完嘴里还留着很久的热带果味,挺有劲儿的 🍊。

Pale gold in the glass... nose is all lemon zest and a whiff of orange peel, like walking into a fancy patisserie. Tastes like the lovechild of a Cointreau liqueur and a good old Highland malt. There's that ginger kick and creamy vanilla fudge underneath, with something almost like crushed kiwi seeds? Very citrus-forward, almost like they've infused it with limoncello. Sits in the cupboard next to all my others, but this one's for special nights. Has that "wow" factor... brilliant, really. Reminds me of sipping citrus liqueurs in an old Orangerie. Complex, almost extraterrestrial. Spectacular whisky for someone who already knows his malts. ✨

这瓶1988年的老东西一打开就感觉不对劲…完全不像平时喝的那些麦芽酒。👃 满鼻子都是橘子酱、柠檬皮和一种说不出的香料味,像是把橙皮、柠檬汁和一点豆蔻扔进搅拌机打出来的香气。 喝起来更怪了,甜得很明显,但又不是腻人的甜,有点像冰镇过的柠檬甜酒,带着点橙子糖浆的感觉。🧊 如果你平时已经收藏了不少威士忌,想找点完全不一样的体验,这个绝对能给你惊喜——它几乎不觉得自己是威士忌了,更像是个来自另一个世界的柑橘利口酒。 喝完嘴里还留着柠檬糖和一点点温暖的香料感,挺有意思的。🍊 不过要是完全没喝过limoncello或者橙味利口酒的人可能第一口会懵。
