- Description
- Littlemill's 20-year-old from 1983 represents a rare snapshot of this now-closed Lowland distillery, matured in a single cask and bottled independently in 2004. Lowland malts of this age typically develop subtle orchard fruit and honeyed grain characters, with gentle wood influence from two decades in oak. The extended maturation would have produced a smooth, refined texture with delicate spice and oak tannins. A collectible dram for those seeking a historical sample of Scottish distilling heritage.
