Cuvée presentation

A single cask (#94) Littlemill, distilled in 1991 and bottled in 2009 for La Maison du Whisky by independent bottler Gordon & MacPhail. Gordon & MacPhail was founded in Elgin in 1895 by James Gordon and John Alexander MacPhail. As was often the case at the time, the business started out as a delicatessen and wine merchant. In 1915, John Alexander MacPhail retired and a new partner joined the business, John Urquhart. He was joined by his son George in 1933, a few years after James Gordon died in a car crash. Gordon & MacPhail works with many of Speyside’s leading distilleries, from whom it has accumulated considerable stocks. It is also licensed to bottle whiskies for many of them, including Glen Grant, Linkwood, Mortlach, Macallan and Glenlivet. The business really took off in the 1970s, acquiring distributors in a huge range of countries and selling casks to several Italian bottlers in selections that would become legends in their own right. Gordon & MacPhail is still run by the Urquhart family today, from the same building, and is one of the most iconic bottlers in the industry, with incredible stocks of sometimes very old and rare whiskies. The company is in complete control of the entire maturation process. Gordon & MacPhail has also owned the Benromach distillery since 1993. A limited edition of 287 bottles.

The distillery Littlemill

Scotland, Lowlands. Distillery closed. Owner: Loch Lomond Group

Closed in 1994 and ravaged by fire in 2004, Littlemill's most prosperous years - compared to the period that followed - ran until the end of the 1990s.Despite the evident young age of the classic versions released by the distillery, ranging from 5 to 8 years, some vintages interspersed the 80s and 90s, including a 1964 and a 1975 vintage presented in a stocky, green bottle (1990s). These were accompanied by two very rare 30 year old versions released at the very start of the 1980s (distilled in the early 50s), including one limited to 87 decanters worldwide produced for the Italian importer F&G Bruino, with an ABV of 38.5%.
