Суммаризация отзывов
Отзывы описывают насыщенный и сложный виски с ярко выраженным влиянием портвейновой бочки, фруктовыми и пряными нотами, а также отмечают длинный финиш. Мнения о балансе расходятся: часть отзывов хвалит интеграцию портвейна, другие указывают на избыточную сухость, горечь или серные ноты.
развернуть подробно
В большинстве текстовых отзывов портвейновая бочка описывается как доминирующая, но хорошо сочетающаяся с характером Littlemill. Нос часто характеризуют как интенсивный и фруктовый: красные ягоды, вишня, ежевика, клубника, сухофрукты, карамель, шоколад, орехи, а также пряности — перец, гвоздика, корица. Несколько отзывов отдельно отмечают цитрусовые ноты (лимон, апельсин), травянистость, сено и солодовость. Вкус описывают как сладкий и пряный, с нотами портвейна, тёмных фруктов, карамели, дуба, иногда с горечью, кислотностью и лёгкими серными оттенками. Финиш в большинстве отзывов назван длинным, согревающим, с дубом, пряностями, шоколадом и сухофруктами; некоторые отмечают сухой или горьковатый финал.
В отзывах есть и критические замечания: избыточное влияние бочки, сухость, горечь, серные ноты, а также мнение, что виски требует времени для раскрытия. Часть отзывов называет его очень удачным и сложным, другие — что он не вполне соответствует их вкусу. Упоминается, что вода не рекомендуется. В целом тексты описывают виски как интенсивный, фруктово-пряный, с выраженным портвейновым характером и длинным финишем, но с расхождениями в оценке баланса и сухости.

A great Littlemill with intense but not covering Port wine, noticeable Brennereicharakter and contrasting spice. Together a complex, full and intense whisky.

| Нос | — | thick, syrupy fruit and pepper penetrates the nose, directly full and intense, strawberry jam on panna cotta, red haribos, vanilla, caramel sweets, all paired with a spiciness and straw, subtle floral, then comes again pepper spice and port, dry and fruity Oak, the thought of Stark wine soaked with Stark wine pushes itself on, just a hint of carnation before spreading a strong sweetness and is paired with all sorts of fruit: red crisp-sweet grapes, apricot, strawberry, cherry, raspberries ... before you're done to grasp all the fruits, light roasted aromas, citrus notes (strawberry compote with a large splash of lemon juice), lemon cake, an intense and very round nose. The sweet caramel and light honey notes become more intense in the second nose |
| Вкус | — | Sweet and fruity and spicy on the nose, lemon cake, roasted aromas, coffee, light pepper, grapes, strong port, creamy caramel, light hay, oak, strawberries, raspberries, sour berries, malt overall less sweet than the nose can expect |
| Финиш | — | Starts with superficial strawberry jam, coffee, dark chocolate, raisins, burnt cake edge, oak spice, long warming finish, a long "fresh" clove spice remains with hazelnuts |

| Нос | — | An intense fruitiness at first nosing with typical port wine aromas. Various fruit syrups - cherry, passion fruit, mandarin. After awhile grainy aromas are coming up. A lovely nose. |
| Вкус | — | Sweet aromatic and nutty with toffee and winey aromas at first mouthfeel. The port wine character is really obvious. Quite some cinnamon as well. Very tasty. |
| Финиш | — | Long with lots of toffee and cinnamon. Remains pleasant. |

Takes a lot of time to open up somewhat. This feels like a malt with some grainy notes. It’s slightly, well, pretty bitter with a spirity edge I’m not a huge fan of. Some glue as well, rather drying. With time, over an hour, this get more balanced, but the bitterness is still there. Pity. It’s a thin line from grassy to oaky. Maybe the Littlemill profile is just not my cup of tea, this is not the first LM that somewhat disappoints me, although I had superb ones as well....

The sulfur in the nose and in the finish becomes less over time and the whisky significantly better. Lots of nuts on the nose, cream candies and dried mangoes. Creamy start in the mouth, again with cream and a lot of influence from the barrel pre-allocation.

sample. not a fan of cask dominated Whiskies, but it does have a nice nose. in my opinion the palate is quite disfunctional because of the sourness. i wouldn't buy this.

| Нос | — | strong, intense mambo jambo of fruit compote. chocolaty notes a la tiramisu. various fruit syrups and marmalades. even cognacy in a way. but underneath there is a a strong grainy note, as if the cask didn't quite get the upper hand. |
| Вкус | — | nothing left of the grain, this is the cask speaking. blackberries, chocolate, some nutty notes. still a cognac touch to it. as others have mentioned before, this has a quite sour winey character which kinda destroys its potential. shame. |
| Финиш | — | quite long on roasted nuts, cinnamon and all that. |
An interesting mole, especially good aroma - extremely diverse, skillfully balanced, very deep and complex; taste / finish trying to maintain the level of flavor, but they do not succeed in this; the barrel and the base simply dissolved into each other, forming something new, one-piece, with its own character, very well.

| Вкус | — | A rich, slightly sharp, spicy oak, wine shades, black pepper, cardboard notes, nuts, varnish, tart oak, light hydrogen sulfide inclusions - mineral water, burnt matches; |
| Финиш | — | Light, warming, wood-furniture notes, berry jam, freshly fried toasts, spicy oak, light pepper shades, watermelon. |

| Нос | 92 | soft red elegant fruit, strawberry galore! what a nose! creamy, hay, farm field, delicious. after 10 minutes of air we get more apple, pear, cotton candy. |
| Вкус | 89 | typical Littlemill profile: cardboard and hay, yellow and red fruits with a hint of red pepper. |
| Финиш | 90 | light with liquorice root. wet newspapers, long, just a tad to dry and wood drive in my opinion. |
Littlemill in port! How rare is this. Silky smooth port with blueberry sweetness, with the right amount of toffee, licorice, amd sweet japanese potatoes.

A dreamlike Littlemill from a First Filled Port Pipe! Fruity and tart elements play together, dark caramel and toasty flavors harmonize perfectly, the old age of Littlemill can be guessed. A great malt, I like it very much!

| Нос | — | Subtle roasting aromas mingle with the first nosing with dried berries and dark caramel. After a few moments, the nose becomes much fruity and blackberries are in the foreground. Oily streaks stick to the glass wall, slow drops dissolve slowly and find their way back into the glass in slow motion. Dark cherries mingle with dark toffee and a hint of vanilla, milk chocolate is added. The alcohol is formed after repeated smelling intense, fine spicy wood. Slightly sour berries and grapes, then again intense cherry flavor with a hint of apricot. Lemons and a hint of grapefruit aroma rise from fruity wood elements. The alcohol is now integrated again harmoniously while the roasted aromas and the caramel return. |
| Вкус | — | At the first sip, slightly sourish fruit flavors first light up with a splash of lemon before spicy and intense woody notes make the mouth burn. Pleasant pungency and a hint of pepper soon dominate the taste, a dark walnut aroma and tart wood notes are present. My salivation is massively stimulated, I want the next sip! At the second sip, dark caramel, honey and roasted aromas immediately dominate the taste. Dried berries and citrus fruit, or grapefruit exude a harsh mouthfeel. A leathery touch and a hint of tobacco come slowly from the spicy and fruity wood mixture and warm the palate. |
| Финиш | — | The finish starts warm and plump. A touch of leather, subtle tart wood and a hint of walnut mix to a wonderful mouthfeel. The grapefruit peels and berries preserved in rum exude a harmonious composition of sweet fruit and tart wood aromas. Slowly, the warming finish ends and leaves an intense mixture of Old Walnuts and dry leaves. Slightly tart and fruity notes of wood remain on the tongue. |
Hui starts the sweet and creamy; dried apricots; some beeswax; Hay; a touch of country air; strawberries, but not 100% ripe yet; Mango-cream; a hint of caramel; Pear slices with honey glaze... ...it tingles slightly, white pepper; Fruit mix of mainly light, rather tropical fruits; hazelnuts; dark intense cocoa and then oak; there is bang behind it... ...dark chocolate cream; Oak; the fruits go into the fermented; the acidity and bitterness fight for dominance. Nice thing, but the 26 Sherry looks more dignified and harmonious. Still far from a bad whisky. There's power and intensity behind it.

Refreshing! Cream, Borodinsky bread, chicory, walnut, almond, old brandy, smoke, burning old furniture, oak, wet cardboard, potatoes, green grass
This filling takes time. Then an ingenious Littlemill nose with a full load of mango develops. The remaining typical tropical aromas are covered a bit by the port barrel, but that fits.

Porto The founders of Hart Brothers, brothers Donald and Iain Hart (later joined by a third brother, Alistair), sold their company a few years ago. One of the two brothers, David, and his son Andrew started a new company: Meadowside Blending Co., best known for their releases under the name The Maltman. The new owners of Hart Brothers retained the name and, in 2015, launched this single cask from the now-defunct Littlemill Distillery. The malt spent its entire life in a first-fill port cask and was bottled at cask strength. The nose needs some time to open up and free itself from an initial sulfurous note. Once it's dispersed and opened up, my nose is pleasantly treated to notes of red fruit, port (yikes!), blood orange, and maraschino cherries. This is followed by chestnuts and a handful of nuts, freshly made caramel, and a touch of cocoa. Very intense. It's also intense on the palate. Almost hot, even. Once again, it's all port and fruit, but generously enhanced with cloves, nutmeg, and cinnamon. A touch of eucalyptus adds a fresh note, countered by the drying oak. The cocoa still peeks through. The finish is long and, alongside grape juice and sugar, suddenly reveals hints of blood orange and cherry. But it dies a bone-dry death. A very nice Littlemill, but barely recognizable due to the dominant port cask. A bit too dry to be an absolute winner, but a particularly delicious malt nonetheless.
Heavy cask influence with (over)dominant, sour port wine. Very good. I liked the sherry bottling a little better.

| Нос | — | Sweet, thick port with overripe grapes and cherries. Roasted chestnuts on the christmas market. Cinamon flavoured honey cake. |
| Вкус | — | Sugary sweet at first. Then suddenly lots of sour wine flavors with a touch of sulphur. Rich oak. Some ginger. Then more and more bitter. Heavy oak kicking in. Underlined by quite some sour port wine at all time. |
| Финиш | — | Long finish on dry oak and harsh, spicy cinamon. |
I'm not a fan of Littlemill, so I can not objectively rate this whisky and certainly not award points. It's the best Littlemill I've ever had, but probably only because the long portability best covers the LM character ... The malt is well done, but the LM character is not mine ... Blind he would probably be around 84-86 points.
Heavy on oak, nice and complex in the nose. Ripe fruit coming to the surface on the tongue and in the nose. However, for me a bit too heavy on the oak.
The nose is very complex and pleasing. I especially like the fact that behind all the impressions of the port barrels you can still recognize the fresh citrus notes of Littlemill. In the mouth it is a bit too spicy, if not a bit alcoholic, the finish is pretty long and shows the age of the whisky. Overall, very convincing. I rarely say that, but I regret that I did not buy a bottle.

| Нос | — | Immediately the aromas of sweet port wine rise into the nose, at first sweetly it makes one think of a Ruby Port, sweet red fruits, strawberries and raspberries, with the time however it becomes tart, darker, sourish, blackberry and currant up to citrus notes, also spicy oak notes are now there. Only from the alcohol is nothing to feel. Everything looks ripe, harmonious, intense |
| Вкус | — | Middle start, but then it gets strong quickly. Hot and spicy, the whisky is on the tongue, astringent, sour, the sour red fruit from the nose show up again. Then it gets drier, but also sweeter, oak and some sulfur are pushing forward. A little overripe apricot, the oak is in the form of bitter walnut |
| Финиш | — | Cherry, dark chocolate, dry red wine, and oak, a little clove, long |
Wow - what an indescribably great drop ... My absolute favorite whisky! Luckily I could just order again ... Nose, aroma, finish, ... hours later sniffing on the empty glass ... The best that I have been allowed to have in my glass. And there were Brora, Port Ellen, etc. Buy, as long as it still exists somewhere in this world ...

| Нос | — | fruity, full port wine, cherries, grapes, after a while in the glass come citrus, warm lemon cake, roasted nuts, honey, cinnamon, wow the nose is great, I can smell it all day! |
| Вкус | — | sweet, honey banana, ginger, of course port wine and dark fruits, malt, black pepper comes now and some acidity, gently integrated oak in the background gives a slight bitterness, again cinnamon and something else on spice, a thought of carnations |
| Финиш | — | long, warming, spicy, peppery, cinnamon and cloves again, with some citrus fruit and grapes and a lot of port-sweetness! Great, because you have a lot of fun in the mouth and throat |
Shit the wall is good. But the boys and girls of Hart Brothers have done everything right. The port fits like a fist on the eye to Littlemill. The nose and the taste are really great. But the absolute coronation is the finish. Terrific part !!!

| Нос | — | LIttlemill flavor along with a dark, sweet port, dark chocolate with a little bit of sulfur; it is always sweet and fresher notes appear; with increasing time in the glass becomes always sweeter |
| Вкус | — | very dry and very sweet; dark fruits and a little pepper; very slight tingling on the tongue; the alcohol is barely noticeable; very subtle smoke |
| Финиш | — | very long; slightly bitter; it remains a dark, sweet on the palate back which I can not classify ... at the very end of the oak tree strikes again |
Ingenious thing, as I find the same sherry clearly superior, not so modrig and a bit more complex ...

| Нос | — | First very portig-cherry, then after 10 minutes very old leather, sweet moor, a little citrus, thyme and old furniture |
| Вкус | — | Very full, citrus with port overload, lots of herbs, slightly salty-malty, but overall clearly dominated by red apple, cherry and Port notes, wonderfully aromatic |
| Финиш | — | Long, dry-sour, apple peel & cherry |
Together, these two - port and sherry - are something you should definitely try with Littlemill.
Littlemill 1988-2015, 26 years, 52% alc. Bottler: Hart Brothers Extension: Port wine barrels Region: Lowlands, Scotland Nose: Reduced port, malt and wet hay. In addition, in the first start directly spices and gritty oak wood. Then there are oranges and sweet chestnuts, morello cherries, fresh caramel, nuts and a little cocoa. Palate: grapes, port and malt, surprisingly hot. Bell pepper, grated chili. In addition, cloves, cinnamon and a fruity sweetness, grape juice and dry oak, eucalyptus and again the slightly bitter cocoa. Pretty complex. Finish: Very long and spicier than on the palate. Again with green pepper, cloves and cinnamon. In addition, citrus and berry fruits, and the grapes are back. The oak tingles and lingers in memory for a long time. Conclusion: Another hit - very complex and does not tolerate water. Extremely beautiful Littlemill! 91/100 points (tasted 2015, approx. 220 €) I thank the sales department (HEB) for the sample!
Nose: first time fat port. Once you have gotten used to this sweet and spicy wine note, this typical Littlemill note (burnt lemon cake) quickly returns. But it has much more to offer - freshly roasted malt and hazelnuts, gooseberry and a hint of cocoa powder. Water softens the influence of the porch and gives off more citrus scents. Taste: strong and peppery onset, very aromatic port, again the malt and the gooseberry, add clove and strong oak on the finish. This beautifully spicy appetite, caressed by the Port sweetness, stays long. Water takes something the sharpness and spice and makes the whisky look a bit bland. Conclusion: That's good! Here, the barrel has brought more into the whisky as the sister bottling from the sherry barrel. Please leave water out!

On the one hand very spicy, on the other hand typical port notes with nice sweetness, a touch too sulphurous, but very aromatic and intense; I especially like the nose, which oscillates between the littlemill citrus freshness and the dull, sweet-leathery port notes. Very spicy in the mouth and many burnt notes of bitterness on the finish. Not quite mine.
