A SINGLE malt from a defunct distillery thought to have been the oldest in Scotland has gone on sale to connoisseurs and collectors.
Littlemill distillery was officially established at Bowling on the Clyde in 1772. It closed in 1994 and was destroyed by fire in 2004.
Littlemill 2017 Private Cellar Edition is the second in a series of expressions celebrating the very limited amount of Littlemill single malt that remains. The latest release is of 500 numbered limited edition bottles of the 27-year-old whisky priced at £2250 each.
Michael Henry, master blender at Loch Lomond It’s a tragedy that Littlemill was committed to legend. Once the last precious drops are consumed, an important part of Scotland’s and Scotch whisky’s heritage will be lost forever.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
