- Description
- From November 1988, this Littlemill spent 26 years in a single refill hogshead before Hunter Laing opened the cask in March 2015, yielding just 75 bottles for the Old & Rare Platinum collection. As Littlemill has been closed and dismantled, this represents an increasingly rare glimpse of the Lowland distillery's spirit.
