Distillery was stopped in 1996, the remains were destroyed by fire in 2004. Possibly one of the oldest Scottish distilleries with roots going back to 1750 (at least Littlemill bottles are still more or less available on the shelves).
Two more brands were produced on Littlemill - Dumbuck and Dunglass - though I haven't encountered none of them so far.
Littlemill 1990/2013 22 yo BR cask #16 46% - there are quite a few BR bottlings on the market with spirits dated from 1988 to 1992. One of them I'll taste today.

Nose: gentle and fresh, apple pie with spices and cream, pear juice, freshly cut grass and sweet barley. Official 21 yo is still better but this one is also delicious.
Taste: round, fruity and sweet with nut and cream layers.
Finish: medium-long with hints of sweet wood smoke.
Overall: very nice lowlander, not a single sharp corner in it, just pour it and savour it.
Score: 22 22 21 22, 87/100!
