Part of the Diageo Special Releases 2016 collection, this limited edition Speyside Single Malt was distilled in 1978 at Linkwood distillery. Rarely available as a single malt, this expression was matured in refill American oak hogsheads and refill European oak butts. Only 6,114 individually numbered bottles have been produced at natural cask strength.Fresh fruit notes of melon, grape, orange zest and apple pour over a fudge base, becoming creamier with marzipan, vanilla and a trace of liquorice. The palate is fruity and sweet with baked apple, becoming warming and tart with black tea, rum and raisin ice cream and vanilla. Notes of clove, ginger and salt emerge before the long peppery finish with aspects of spiced oak.

A limited edition Lowland single malt whisky. The Littlemill Distillery where this whisky originates has been proven to be the first and oldest licensed whisky distillery. Specially selected, produced and bottled by Gordon & MacPhail in 2010, this bottle was distilled in 1991.

Free from chill filtration, this has a natural cask-imparted colour. This has a light, fragrant, aromatic character with some fruity flavours on the palate. A step into history. 

Littlemill Testament is now officially the distillery’s oldest release to date, having been distilled on 4th October 1976. This impressive whisky was re-casked in 1996 into American oak hogsheads by master distiller Michael Henry, before he then vatted three of the casks into two first-fill Oloroso sherry hogsheads for four months. He then married all the liquid together for a final two months before it was bottled in 2020 at 42.5% abv. 

Just 250 bottles of this limited release have been created, each one presented in a hand-blown glass decanter and a dress stopper made from the distillery’s natural sandstone. 

The nose has green apples and pears, fresh citrus and ginger, with more vibrant fruits bursting on a sweet and zesty palate. The creamy mouthfeel paves the way for a long finish with gentle spices of cinnamon and nutmeg. Sublime. 

We think this Bunnahabhain is outstanding. It was distilled in 2001 and filled into a top quality sherry butt where it has matured for 14 years. It is both unique and limited and will enhance any collection. However, we believe that our customers will want to drink it and we have released it at a strength of 48% volume, which in our opinion is optimal for a joyous sensory experience. Rich and complex with stewed fruits, plums, cherries and warm blueberry pie, there’s marzipan in there too and with time it adds treacle and liquorice to its already delightful bouquet. A little water and some time allows some of it’s Islay nature to develop, fresh seaweed, coal tar and sweet tobacco now lingers in the glass offering the perfect balancing act to the richer, sweeter notes which still dominate throughout.Stewed winter fruits with cinnamon are followed by gentle bursts of sweet satsuma and zesty lemon before settling on soft and gently smoked heather and a white peppery warmth. The balance of flavours is perfect. The finish combines turfy peat, liquorice and a drying charred oak and spice
