Scotland, Lowlands. Distillery closed. Owner: Loch Lomond Group

Closed in 1994 and ravaged by fire in 2004, Littlemill's most prosperous years - compared to the period that followed - ran until the end of the 1990s.Despite the evident young age of the classic versions released by the distillery, ranging from 5 to 8 years, some vintages interspersed the 80s and 90s, including a 1964 and a 1975 vintage presented in a stocky, green bottle (1990s). These were accompanied by two very rare 30 year old versions released at the very start of the 1980s (distilled in the early 50s), including one limited to 87 decanters worldwide produced for the Italian importer F&G Bruino, with an ABV of 38.5%.

A 22 year old single cask Littlemill (#21) distilled in 1990 and bottled in 2013 by Berry Bros & Rudd. Berry Bros & Rudd was founded in 1698, making it the oldest independent bottler in Great Britain. It has supplied wines and spirits to the British Royal Family since King George III, and today has two Royal Warrants. “WINE MERCHANTS. BY APPOINTMENT TO H.M. THE QUEEN” is also found on the screw cap. Berry Bros & Rudd is still a family-run company, managed by the descendants of the Berry and Rudd families.
