Flavor Profile
Tasting 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
