Littlemill 21 Year Old 1992 The Whisky Mercenary

Littlemill is, as you are fully aware, a closed (and destroyed by fire) distillery, but there are ample casks to launch every year. Jurgen Vromans, better known as the Belgian bottler The Whisky Mercenary, just released his newest bottling. It is a 21 Year Old of this Lowlander, from 1992, bottled at cask strength.

A very waxy nose, quite creamy, on almond cake, rhubarb marmalade and citrus. That last smells mostly like mandarin and lime, but there is also a slice of grapefruit to be detected. A drop of Fanta. Freshly cut grass. Soft on the spices, by the way, but nevertheless a powerful nose.

Ka-boom! It explodes on the palate. Very spicy now, with citrus still to the fore, followed closely by a mildly drying green tea and coconut. Powerful, spicy and very good indeed!

In the warm and rather long finish, a bit of grapefruit zest appears.

Great Littlemill, but we already knew that of this vintage. Available for 115 EUR. Thanks for the sample, Jurgen.
