New Littlemill Old & Rare 30 Year Old at The Whisky Barrel – Scotch Whisky News
Littlemill 30 Year Old 1988
Single cask 1988 vintage from Hunter Laing’s Old & Rare label. Bottled August 2019 and just 243 bottles from a refill hogshead at 57.1% Littlemill Distillery was established in 1772 to the west of Bowling by the north shore of the River Clyde and on the main road into Glasgow. Subsequent modifications during the 1930s resulted in a number of novel features including double ventilation towers which sat over a single drying kiln and pot stills with rectifiers rather than the traditional swan necks. The combination of pot and column stills in Littlemill Distillery was designed to produce malt whisky which was expected to mature quickly. When production ceased in 1992 Littlemill Distillery was the oldest working malt whiskey distillery in Scotland. Closed in 1994 and demolished in 2006 and now Littlemill is a lost Scottish distillery although the shell of the manager’s house remains
