Littlemill 250th Anniversary release

Littlemill’s 250th Anniversary release celebrates the coming together of two crafts; whisky making and photography. Both crafts capture the past, and both are equal in their need for patience, passion, and unique expertise to create something truly exceptional and timeless. Through Master Blender, Michael Henry, – the guardian of the last few precious Littlemill casks – exceptional care, attention to detail, and respect for tradition are given to ensure that the style of liquid we taste today reflects the Littlemill of history.

Each bottle of Littlemill’s 250th Anniversary release comes beautifully presented in an oak display case finished to the highest standard. Tastefully reflecting the meeting of two crafts, the display case draws inspiration from the early camera boxes that would have captured and immortalised Littlemill’s history. A small draw houses a booklet of the Littlemill legacy and a silver-onblack glass photograph recapturing the view from the banks of the River Clyde towards the original Littlemill distillery. The fully bespoke handblown Glencairn decanter with delicate cuts in the crystal takes its inspiration from a traditional camera lens aperture.

THE ART & SCIENCE OF WHISKY

WE’RE PROUD TO MAINTAIN ANCIENT TRADITIONS AND SKILLS. BUT WE’RE NOT AVERSE TO NEW IDEAS...

...IF THEY HELP US MAKE GREAT WHISKY.

At Loch Lomond in Alexandria, we’ve recently invested £15 million into brand new stills, and we can make fine single malts and some of the best grain whisky in Scotland on the same premises. Our highly efficient bottling plant at Glen Catrine in Ayrshire produces more than 40m bottles of whisky and other spirits each year in all standard sizes of bottles from 5cl to 4.5L.

Meanwhile, in Campbeltown, our Glen Scotia Distillery still looks much as it did in the 19th century when Duncan MacCallum constructed the malting floors that form the imposing frontage on the town’s High Street. It’s said the spirit of MacCallum haunts the building to this day, yet the distillery was refitted at the turn of the millennium, following 15 ‘silent’ years, and today is in full and s teady production.

As for our people, they’ve amassed whole lifetimes of shared experience. From coopers and maltsters to stillmen and blenders, our people share a deep love and knowledge of their craft. The same is true of our suppliers - whether we’re sourcing American Oak bourbon casks or buying grain from Scottish farmers, we work with experts we know and trust.

OUR PEOPLE ARE AS VITAL TO OUR BRANDS AS GRAIN, MALT AND WATER. AFTER ALL IN WHISKY, THERE’S NO SUBSTITUTE FOR A GOOD EYE, A SUBTLE PALATE AND AN EXPERIENCED NOSE.
