Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
코를 대면 잘 익은 복숭아와 꿀, 올로로소가 준 건포도가 먼저 인상을 남긴다. 폐쇄된 리틀밀의 25년 숙성으로 로우랜드의 가벼움 위에 셰리의 깊이가 또렷하게 더해진다. 팰럿은 오렌지와 다크초콜릿, 가죽 향이 발전하며 50.4도의 도수가 단단한 구조를 세운다. 피니시는 마른 견과와 향신료로 길게 끌린다. 사라진 증류소의 품격이 처음부터 끝까지 일관된 한 잔이다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
the sherry speaks first, with a slightly oxidative style, some walnuts, a little tobacco, some bitter chocolate… Littlemill’s usual topical style remains a little muted, but you do ‘hear’ it if you listen hard. With water: improves a lot, with lovely whiffs of damp earth, mushrooms, and more walnuts. I like walnuts. Also a little leather, and oranges that are starting to sing louder
restaurant Palate
it is a pleasant combination of tart citrusy fruits and very tobacco-ish notes from the sherry. Pipe tobacco (not too dark) and tangerines, grapefruits and passion fruits (touches). Good body, and despite the finishing, it hasn’t quite lost the distillate’s original freshness. With water: quite some wood extracts, around menthol and pine sap. Perhaps a touch of wild thyme and even rosemary, which is ‘funny’
timer Finish
rather long, perhaps a tad drying now. Strong black tea and liquorice wood (flavoured with menthol)
