Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 돌리면 윤기 도는 황금빛이 잔 안에서 흔들린다. 코끝을 대면 문 닫은 리틀밀다운 트로피컬 과일과 꿀, 가벼운 시트러스가 부드럽게 올라온다. 한 모금 머금으면 52.3도의 둥근 질감 사이로 망고와 바닐라, 옅은 향신료가 번진다. 24년을 보낸 1988년 리틀밀을 삼키면 달콤한 과실과 매끈한 오크가 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full amber
air Nose
one step further towards tobacco! In truth, this baby smells like a whole 25-box of Havana cigars for a while (I’ll play it smart and say old Lusitanias). Many tinier notes start to appear after a few minutes, such as black olives in brine, old balsamic vinegar, beef stock, wood smoke, walnut wine, old palo cortado… It’s lovely, really lovely, even if ‘Litlemill’ doesn’t seem to have much to say so far. With water: becomes very vegetal. All kinds of peelings, moss, fern, fir honeydew, early rain (c’mon!)…
restaurant Palate
a little frightening for one or two seconds (too oaky? Too drying?) but in fact and despite the relative heaviness, it becomes and remains zesty and fresh. I don’t think very citrusy AND very sherried malts are too common, so this one is very interesting. Chestnut and lemon honeys, tobacco, menthol, old sherry, herbal drops (classic Ricola, dear Swiss friends), leather… It’s very unusual and much to my liking. Becomes a little fizzy after a while. With water: a funny fight between the spirit’s lemon and the sherry’s strawberries and cherries that come out. A peaceful fight
timer Finish
long and, once again, spicier
