Littlemill 20yo (1992/2012) Maltbarn

Divine grapefruit juice from
Scotland's oldest distillery

At last, the final lowlander on my list (let's just ignore Ladyburn, Glen Flager, Annandale, Ailsa Bay and Inverleven for a moment).
Didn't know what to expect, within the whisky community no consensus can be found on Littlemill. Some loath it as cod oil, others would sell their own children for a bottle. Thus it took me a while to gathered my courage and put in an order for some Littlemill.
Easy to say, the search wasn't too hard, the market is literally being flooded with a wide variety of independent releases. One has to wonder how such a small distillery could leave a stock large enough to keep selling casks for decades after its demise at reasonable prices. (Diageo is probably just cheating us out of our money with their rare releases from lost distilleries like Port Ellen).
