Littlemill (silent) Connoisseurs Choice Single Malt Scotch Whisky 20 Year Old · 1985 Vintage

Colour

Deep golden amber with coppery highlights and a touch of mahogany

Nose

Richly perfumed, the nose opens with dark orchard fruits and baking spices, as sherry undertones cloak polished oak. Notes of fig, raisin, and cocoa mingle with hints of orange zest and faint espresso, while polished malt, vanilla, and a whisper of smoke lend elegant complexity. A subtle, fragrant sweetness lingers, inviting the palate to savour the depth and old-wood elegance of a well-matured Littlemill.

Palate

Silky and poised, this Littlemill delivers orchard fruit and citrus zest tempered by a sherry-tinged sweetness. Dried apricot and raisin mingle with cocoa, almond and honeyed oak, while a gentle spice threads through the mid-palate. The finish is long and refined, leaving a delicate sweetness with a whisper of leather.

Finish

Candied citrus and honeyed fruit unfold on the finish, joined by vanilla oak and a whisper of almond. The spice is restrained, the waxy, silky finish lingers softly, a poised, lingering farewell that recalls Littlemill’s quiet, graceful profile.
