Littlemill 27 Year Old – Private Cellar Edition 2017

The Littlemill distillery was sadly shut in 1994 – and even more sadly demolished almost completely by a fire in 2004. However, the whisky produced at the Lowland-based distillery still sometimes appears, much to the delight of whisky enthusiasts and collectors alike. This is a 2017 release of 27 year old Littlemill single malt, released as part of the Private Cellar range. It features whisky distilled in May 1990 and aged in ex-bourbon barrels. The whisky enjoyed a 12 month finishing period in fresh bourbon barrels before being bottled in 2017. Only 500 of these were produced, and each one comes with a 5cl miniature of the whisky, and a little fragment of a cask used to mature the whisky.
