 Posted: Tue Jun 26, 2012 1:43 pm Post subject: Bottle of Malt Mill Unveiled |
 |
|
The world's only known bottle of Malt Mill new-make spirit was unveiled yesterday for enthusiasts and whisky pilgrims at the Lagavulin distillery. Thought to have disappeared forever, Malt Mill is the basis of the plot for the award-winning Ken Loach film, The Angels' Share.
Malt Mill was produced at a small distillery on the Lagavulin distillery site from 1908; production ceased in 1962 and this bottle is from the last fill in June 1962.
The bottle of Malt Mill came to light after the Lagavulin distillery manager, Georgie Crawford, heard about the film. Involving some whisky related shennanigans, and based on an auction of an imaginary last cask of Malt Mill, she brought out the Malt Mill from its secret location. It had been passed on to her by her predecessor, the former Lagavulin distillery manager.

That's really quite nifty. Somewhat akin to finding the tomb of Tutankhamun.
