Description

A 30 year old Littlemill whisky. Bottled by The Vintage Malt Whisky Co Ltd as part of their The Cooper’s Choice series . Distilled in 1984, it was then aged in a bourbon cask, numbered 3904, for over 30 years before being bottled in 2015. A run of just 270 bottles.

Littlemill distillery was closed in 1994, dismantled in 1997 and destroyed by fire in 2004.

Colour: Straw.

Nose: Tropical nose on lemon, pineapple, pomelo, apricots, peach and a truckload of grapefruit. Then a fresh bouquet of wild flowers and a nice note of wood (without becoming oaky). Very fruity, very summery and simply very good.

Taste: On the palate, this is a fruit bomb. Again lots of tropical fruit like the nose promised, joined by a good bite of white pepper and wood spices. Some rose water and even a little salty note, although that disappears quickly. Delicious.

Finish: The finish is medium long in which the pepper slowly fades and leaves only pomelo and grapefruit.

As with all our older bottles, there may be some slight damage to the labels / box.  Please see the pictures.
