Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가까이 하면 지금은 사라진 리틀밀이 1990년 빚어낸 가벼운 로우랜드 향이 명확하게 드러난다. 호그스헤드에서 21년을 보내며 꿀과 잘 익은 사과, 시트러스 껍질의 향이 천천히 발전한다. 55.1도의 팰럿은 산뜻하면서 단단하게 입을 채우며 바닐라와 보리사탕, 가벼운 향신료가 드러난다. 피니시는 깔끔한 곡물 단맛과 함께 길게 이어진다. 폐쇄된 로우랜드 증류소의 희소한 캐릭터가 또렷한 한 잔이다.
AITasting 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
