Description

A 22 year old Littlemill whisky. Bottled by Archives, as part of their Voyage dans l’Amérique Méridionale series. Distilled in 1992, it was then aged in a Hogshead cask and bottled in 2014. A run of just 59 bottles, this is bottle No.27.

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

Colour: Gold.

Nose: Clay and oranges, with touches of passion fruits in the background, then lilies.

Taste: These Littlemills represent one of, if not the sexiest style of malt whisky ever, with both the emphatic fresh fruitiness that some Irish can display, and the fatter, perhaps better textured and earthier body of Scotch. Well the style of the bigger Lowlanders, especially since this one’s rather more full-bodied than others. A la Rosebank, if you will.

Finish: Long, both fruity and perfumed, with marshmallow or icing sugar – and a grassier aftertaste. Tinned pineapples in the aftertaste.

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