Littlemill Distillery

Littlemill Distillery was located in Bowling, West Dunbartonshire, near the banks of the River Clyde in Scotland. Founded in 1772, Littlemill was one of the oldest registered distilleries in the country. The distillery had a rich and varied history with several ownership changes until it closed permanently in 1994. A fire in 2004 completely destroyed the distillery.

A specific feature of Littlemill was the use of both traditional pot stills and Lomond stills, which allowed for a wide range of whisky profiles. Littlemill whisky was known for its light and elegant style, often with fruity and floral notes, combined with a subtle maltiness. The whisky was matured in various cask types, including bourbon and sherry casks, which created a complex flavour profile.

Although the distillery no longer exists, the remaining bottles of Littlemill whisky remain highly prized and sought after by collectors, as a tribute to an important piece of Scotch whisky history.
