Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
oh, it’s one the first recent independent Littlemills that’s rather closer to the old OBs (remember the older dumpy bottles?) at first nosing, a little spirity, grainy, even slightly yoghurty… Then unexpected notes of olive and even grape seed oils develop, this paraffin yet again, and lastly, more crystallised oranges and citrons, together with a little leather, grass and cigar tobacco. It’s a complex Littlemill. With water: becomes a clean, classic, lemony Littlemill. A very aromatic honeyness in the background, then more polished wood. Gets drier (old attic)
restaurant Palate
full-blown lemony Littlemill plus a medium richness from the sherry wood. Some kind of smoky honey, honeydew, grapefruits and just a little gooseberry and even strawberry. Remains fresh and lively, yet maybe a notch less chiselled than the 1992. With water: very nice touches of cumin coming through. Perfect oak-aged gin. No!
timer Finish
long, spicier. Lemon marmalade, cumin and pepper
