Littlemill (silent) Connoisseurs Choice - Single Cask #549 Whisky 31 Year Old · 1991 Vintage
Out of stock
Bottled by Gordon & MacPhail for the Connoisseurs Choice range, this 1991 Littlemill comes from cask #549 and was matured in a refill American oak hogshead before being bottled in 2023 at 31 years old. With an outturn of 226 bottles and a strength of 44.5% ABV, it is a notably mature release from one of Scotland’s lost Lowland distilleries.
Littlemill fell silent in 1994, was dismantled in 1997, and the remaining buildings were later destroyed by fire in 2004, which gives bottlings like this extra historical interest for collectors and drinkers alike. In this case, the refill cask keeps the oak influence measured, allowing more of Littlemill’s lighter, fruit-led character to come through with clarity rather than being dominated by wood.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Bright pale gold with delicate straw hues and a whisper of sunlit amber at the rim; luminous, translucent, and inviting.
Nose
Lemon and lime lift the aroma, woven with subtle honey. Fresh apple and tropical fruit emerge, finishing with a delicate hint of hay.
Palate
Sweet citrus flavours mingle with honeysuckle and garden mint as dried pineapple develops, balanced by charred oak and a touch of soft black pepper.
Finish
A graceful, medium-length finish that lingers with grapefruit zest and peanut notes, leaving a clean citrus glow.
