Description

A 23 year old Littlemill whisky. Bottled by The Whisky Agency, as part of their Early Flying series. Distilled in 1991, it was then aged in a Refill Hogshead cask and bottled in 2014. A run of just 275  bottles.

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

Colour: white wine

Nose:
An interesting one, with rather waxy notes. With interesting hints of vegetables including fresh white asparagus, then almond oil and broken branches and roots. There are some tropical fruits, but that’s the most discreet side of this baby.

Taste:
There are pink grapefruits, even a wee feeling of smoked/dried bananas, some very great notes of blond tobacco, an unexpected drop (or two) of manzanilla, and even a pinch of salt. And a drop of earthy mezcal. In fact, this is a rather coastal Littlemill.

Finish:
Long, earthier, lovely. You even find a little gentian. This takes its time, and hates to be rushed, but especially the aftertaste and retro-olfaction are totally magical.

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