Littlemill 25 Year Old 2015 Limited Edition - 70cl 50.4%

Despite the distillery closing in 1994, owners Loch Lomond have been releasing some of the now-mature stocks every year.

The 2015 edition was distilled between December 17 1989 and April 4 1990 and has been bottled at 25 years old.

Aged in a combination of ten American and European oak cask, it was then married together in first-fill oloroso sherry casks before being bottled at 50.4% ABV. Limited to a number of 1,500 bottles, this superb whisky comes in a Littlemill presented wooden box.

Nose: Initially quite rich, not overbearingly. Warm vanilla and hazelnuts lead alongside some sweet floral honey. Warming spices then make a faint appearance in the background which over time combine nicely with floral notes.
Palate: Consistent through to the palate with a theme similar to the nose. Initially vanilla dominated before honey notes take over as well as a touch of allspice, nutmeg and other sweet spices.
Finish: A pleasant, long finish. A perfect example of a whisky which has been very skillfully aged, allowing the complexity to build.
