First licensed in 1817, yet debatably illicitly practicing whisky production from as early as 1772, Littlemill distillery called upon the Kilpatrick hills spring for their water source, which is above the Highlands line, contradicting Littlemill’s actual geography residing within the Lowlands belt. It is still considered a Lowlands distillery, and produced three signature whiskies; the Dumbuck, Dunglass and self titled, Littlemill.
The distillery changed hands a fair few times over the hundred years between then and the 1990s, when it was snaffled up by an investor company who then went bankrupt, and the distillery was dismantled. The Littlemill malts are still available (for now) but the Dumbuck and Douglas peated lines were discontinued.
Designed in collaboration with Austrian photographer, Stefan Sappert, the Littlemill 250th takes its inspiration from Stefan’s cameras and lens, with the decanter and metalware crafted by long-term partners, Glencairn. Housed in a bespoke wooden cabinet containing one of 250 limited edition silver-on-glass photo plates, produced by Stefan Sappert, especially for this release. A booklet and 5cl miniature accompany each pack.
