Chapter 1 Robert Muir Vanguard 45 years old. Discover the untold legacy of Littlemill Distillery with The Vanguards Collection, a limited-edition, four-part annual series celebrating the unsung heroes who shaped its history. This inaugural release, Chapter One, pays homage to Robert Muir, the recipient of the first-ever whisky distilling license.
This exclusive whisky, carefully crafted from Littlemill's oldest reserves, underwent a unique maturation process: four decades in refill American Oak followed by a final five-year finish in first-fill Oloroso Sherry hogsheads. With only 250 bottles available, this cask-strength, natural-colour gem embodies the delicate floral essence of Littlemill's summertime, Lowland single malt. Own a piece of history – a rare and fortunate privilege.
Apple and grapefruit aromas unfold in a nuanced symphony, intertwined with subtle grapefruit notes, elevating the olfactory journey.
Dried lemon and orange zest add layers of complexity, complemented by a delicate hint of rose petals that dance in harmony.
Earthy and dry herbal notes, reminiscent of black tea, while the cinnamon undertones provide a comforting warmth.
