Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
a rich cognac amber
air Nose
Earl Grey tea, but not just any—an exceptional one. The classic, exuberant fruitiness of these Littlemill vintages intertwines seamlessly with the sherry, placing us right at the counter of a patisserie in the early morning. Warm pain aux raisins, orange cake, lemon cookies, and even brie (the patisserie, not the cheese) soaked in kirsch. That’s a personal favourite, for those who mind my birthday is 20th September. Subtle notes of shrivelled grape berries, like a vin de paille. With water: a refreshing turn with limestone, lemon, and crisp green apple, suggesting a firming up
restaurant Palate
an indulgence, pure and simple. The distillate shines with a sharp, almost gritty lemon that’s utterly enchanting—the finest lemon essence we've had in ages. With water: a return to a more refined palate, perfectly balanced with citrus and sultanas
timer Finish
long, cheerful, and fruit-laden, featuring pink grapefruit and a delightful touch of honey, with that Earl Grey making a final, graceful appearance. Has the sherry bowed out?
