Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
은은한 황금빛이 잔 안에서 고요히 빛난다. 1985년 리필 호그스헤드에서 25년을 보낸 리틀밀은 이제는 문을 닫은 로우랜드 증류소의 유산답게 잘 익은 멜론과 꿀, 들꽃의 향을 부드럽게 풀어놓는다. 46도의 도수가 입안에서는 시트러스와 바닐라, 가벼운 보리 단맛으로 매끄럽게 흐른다. 오랜 숙성이 다듬은 맑은 과일감과 은은한 오크의 여운이 깊게 머물며 사라진 증류소의 단아함을 길게 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
interesting, it's the 'old style' Littlemill here, starting very grassy and even yeasty, with also whiffs of varnish and touches of acetone. Not the easiest so far, although there is a little lemon and grapefruit in the background. Also apple peelings, fresh walnuts, almonds, strawberry jelly… Maybe a little narrow in fact but perhaps the palate will be more spectacular? A little more vanilla, paraffin and green bananas after fifteen minutes
restaurant Palate
indeed, it's old-style Littlemill, with quite a bitterness, a lot of grass, some pepper, even chilli, all that while the body remains kind of thinnish. Also apple juice
timer Finish
medium long, slightly bitter and always very grassy. Peppery aftertaste
