Littlemill 47 Year Old is the second release in The Vanguards Collection, made to honour Jane MacGregor, the first woman to hold a distilling licence at Littlemill's scale. It was distilled on 4 October 1976 using the distillery's patented straight neck pot stills.
The whisky spent its first 20 years in refill bourbon barrels before being re-racked in 1996 into refill American oak hogsheads, where it matured for a further 27 years. Master Blender Michael Henry judged it ready. It is bottled at 44.9% in a 75cl bottle.
The nose is coastal and saline with elderflower, rose petals and honey, then cinnamon and nutmeg. The palate is silky with green apple, pear, pineapple and grapefruit, and the finish is long, with gooseberry, kiwi and warming cinnamon.
