Tasting Notes
Colour
Golden amber, sunlit and luminous, with coppery highlights and mahogany undertones.
Nose
Delicate, floral nose of orchard fruit—pear and green apple—bright lemon zest with honeyed vanilla and a soft almond backdrop. Subtle sherry notes mingle with dried fruits—raisin and fig—woven through lightly spicy oak. A refined, dusty-sweet elegance that hints at quiet maturity and old wood.
Palate
Silky and lightly full on the palate, this Littlemill carries sherry influence with elegance. Dried fruits—raisin and fig—meet orange zest, vanilla, and a whisper of cocoa. Subtle spice and almond mingle with a soft oak backbone, yielding a polished, velvety mouthfeel. A long, refined finish lingers with gentle warmth.
Finish
Long, satin finish with dried fruit sweetness—raisin, fig, and orange peel—woven through cocoa and almond. A gentle spice lifts the tail, while toasted oak and a hint of tobacco linger, leaving a warm, refined afterglow.
