St Magdalene's the famously more collectible I guess, but for interesting flavours my pick would be the Littlemill. We have the Berry's Own Selection Littlemill up at the Soho Whisky Club at the moment (it's #260 over at Whisky Discovery - whisky-discovery.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/…), and it's an absolute joy to taste. Light, sweet, delicate, elegant, playful, and gorgeous. Not lemony at all. Such are the joys of single cask whisky!

Thanks, jasonbstanding. @Nozinan, I've never tried one of these distilleries. Normally I would not buy one of these without trying a few samples first, but it is part of a deal I made with a fellow malt-enthusiast, I trade a few bottles + some cash for one of these. I had my pick btw, I chose the St. Magdalene. It was supposed to be my first Lost distillery, but last saturday I bought myself a Lochside, so it will probably be my second.

I've been offered two bottles, but only have enough cash at hand to buy one. Both are from lost Lowland distilleries that I haven't tried yet. Normally I would say I would choose a St Magdalene, as it is often described as one of the better lowland distilleries out there and the bottle, a 1982/2008 Blackadder Raw Cask gets decent reviews. The other one is a 1991-2012 Whisky Doris Littlemill, which is worth less, comes from a distillery that some absolutely adore, others hate their light lemony malts, but it gets even better reviews and scores higher. Any input from people who've actually tried some of these?
