Littlemill 18 Year Old 1990 - Mission (Murray McDavid)
Littlemill
Tasting Notes
Hailing from the now-silent Littlemill distillery, this 18-year-old whisky from 1990 is a gem that captures the essence of its bygone heritage. Matured in bourbon barrels, it unveils a captivating aroma reminiscent of copper, tequila, vanilla, and an array of freshly cut herbs, punctuated by a delicate floral note of geranium and a peppery kick. On the palate, it dances with tangy and fresh flavors, where vanilla sweetness intertwines harmoniously with citrus hints and a buttery caramel note of butterscotch. As it lingers, it evolves into a delightful medley of cotton candy, gingernut biscuits, and a sprinkling of peppery spice. The finish is remarkably long, offering a tantalizing interplay of spiciness and tanginess, with subtle hints of freshly cut parsley lingering on the tongue. A limited release of 1,215 bottles from Murray McDavid's Mission Gold Series, this Littlemill whisky is a testament to the distillery's legacy, encapsulating its unique character in every sip.
