Суммаризация отзывов
Отзывы описывают этот Littlemill как сложный и меняющийся в бокале виски с выразительным носом и заметной вариативностью оценок — от восторженных до скептических. Часть комментариев отмечает присутствие спирта и лёгкую/умеренную горечь.
развернуть подробно
В текстовых отзывах этот Littlemill описывают как ароматный и многогранный виски, который раскрывается постепенно. В носах упоминают травянистые, восковые и маслянистые ноты, мёд, ваниль, карамель, крем-брюле, цитрусовые (грейпфрут, лайм, апельсин), тропические и жёлтые фрукты (ананас, дыня, персик, абрикос, манго), а также специи, дуб, сено и иногда влажный картон или пыльные ноты. Во вкусах повторяются кремовость, мёд, ваниль, цитрусовые, фрукты, специи (имбирь, перец), дуб и травянистость; встречаются описания маслянисто-восковой текстуры и лёгкой терпкости. Финиш чаще описывают как средний или средне-длинный, с цитрусовыми, мёдом, дубом, специями и иногда лёгкой горечью.
При этом отзывы не едины: некоторые прямо называют виски сложным и меняющимся, доступным и приятным, другие — одномерным или не выдающимся, отмечают излишне выраженный спирт, пыльно-картонные оттенки и недостаток тропической фруктовости. В части комментариев звучит критика хайпа и цены. Можно говорить о разбросе мнений, но не о едином «экспертном консенсусе»: текстовых отзывов много, и они расходятся по оценке сложности, спиртовой резкости и общей привлекательности.

Always these hype bottlings, Lost DingsBumsBlaBla anyway no one drinks the bottles, you can fill the last crap :) I was hoping that he does not taste me, so I save the purchase. The plan is not on - horny shit Dino! Complex is such a phrase, you can always write, if you can not think of anything else - but here it fits, the malt is a journey - both in the nose and on the palate. He is so accessible that I liked him immediately, but also so complex and changeable - that he will make fun for more than a bottle. If you are very sensitive to slight bitterness you should probably. before a sample ... need not write the filling was in hours and here I think little of it in the secondary market to find again. Immediately after opening, I had a clear sea fish note in the glass - but it was gone after a few minutes - so do not panic.

| Нос | 91 | grassy, waxy, oily full - the nose is very voluminous and dense for cutting - then it is very sweet, spicy honey, creme brulee - especially roasted aromas, vanilla, salt caramel, lye brittle skin, aromas which I associate with freshly cut branches: tree sap very creamy waxy fresh oak flavors, lots of fresh spices and herbs With more time he becomes more fruity - pineapple with yogurt, ripe cantaloupe melon, warm cheesecake with gooseberries, |
| Вкус | 91 | cooked pears in on custard, tangerines, yellow melon, dried pineapple, orange with peel, Earl Gray tea, ginger, a fine touch rubber band, very intense mint (without burning), grapefruit peel and Zesten, increasingly dry but at a comfortable level - birch water Freshly cut, light wooden boards with a hint of resin and a noticeable tannin load - it tingles and dances on the tongue - the aromas swing and pulsate, change again in intensity and shape - it can be chewed for a very long time |
| Финиш | 90 | I am a small drinker and only the finish seemed like the weak point of this bottling - after half the dram I have a very persistent presence on the palate - fruit and oak - creamy, harmonious with a fine bitterness that I feel comfortable. |
I like it very much! - complex whisky with a great nose and fantastic development in the glass; on the palate too, patience when tasting brings many nuances for everyone who takes enough time for it; the grapefruit-wax-vanilla notes on the finish really nice for me! Thank you also for the impressive description at dRambo! There is little to add.

One of the worse Littlemill of the past few years and not even worth the high scores here. But what can you expect from a bottling that is hyped from the release day and celebrated on social media so that the supposed value of your own collection increases? They are always the same names that you read there. This also applies here to the whisky base, the purpose of which has long been taken to be absurd by such people.
Very nice whisky, which shows its age, but which also does not come up with extreme complexity. Re-tasted February 2022: Pepper, cardboard, grass, vanilla and chilli on the finish

19 20 20 20 79 Littlemill is my favorite distillery. Everything that I love him for is missing here, or rather clogged with alcohol, of which there is too much, IMHO, sorry, but this is some kind of Anti-Mill: (... but I see many people like it, life goes on .. .

| Нос | 89 | Eucalyptus, candle wax, Nashi pear, vanilla quark, kiwi, apricot, creamy almond, light marzipan sweetness, some putty, very subtle and more subtle woody spice. For the strength extremely mild in the nose. |
| Вкус | 87 | Hui, funky. Acidic, chalky, with sweet tropical fruits that tend slightly overripe / fermented. Kiwiquark. Somehow a light sea or shellfish association. Shellfish? My first maritime Lowlander. ;) Something unusual; drops significantly over the nose. |
| Финиш | 86 | Sour-tart, vanilla, little wood. |
This is my first Littlemill, but far from the first glass from this bottle. I want to like him, just because he is a rarity. When do you get a littlemill? On the one hand it is very unusual, but on the other hand it is not a revelation. I like the nose best. To be honest: I get a well aged 20 year old from the bourbon barrel for 40% of the money and it would be just as tasty.

| Нос | — | This Littlemill looks very fresh, very lively on the nose. In between I always have to think of an older Irish whisky. A scent of lemon, even really sour lime, flows out of the glass together with a lavender soap. The acidity of the lime significantly enhances the impression of alcohol. Despite an estimated 55% vol. the alcohol does not sting or bite. I don’t smell vanilla or caramel here, Perhaps the nose is a little one-dimensional and straightforward for a 27 year old, but I find it very exciting and extraordinary. |
| Вкус | — | It lies thin and flat in the mouth for 2 seconds. Then the tongue becomes furry, flour describes it even better. Suddenly this whisky builds up. He develops a lot of strength from alcohol, so. as if my soul was flooded with the water of life. It tingles at the tip of the tongue. Candied lemon candy, oak, oak wort and a noticeable but not yet disturbing portion of tannins. |
| Финиш | — | The power of alcohol warms the spit tube in a very pleasant way. However, not much remains in the mouth; some wood, some bitterness and that was it. What a pity. |

I recommend Blenders Glass for this whisky. I disagree with the assessment of the respected Alexey. Yes, this is not a typical Littlemill, but it is very unusual and interesting. Do not rush with it.

| Нос | 87 | Musty notes of goat cheese and preserved capers at first, then yellow fruit and waxy notes emerge timidly. It becomes mineral and salty over time. Not boring. |
| Вкус | 88 | Honey water, meadow herbs, white pepper and ginger. Sweet and buttery. Very interesting, or is that my taste. |

| Нос | 92 | Forest honey, hay, fresh grass, vanilla pudding, creme brulee, canned peach, allspice, a hint of ginger, pineapple, with some water still green apple, lime juice and jasmine tea. |
| Вкус | 92 | Gentle, creamy, intense aromas, but feel zero alcohol (with 1 teaspoon of water on 4cl), forest honey, vanilla pudding, lime zest, oranges, jasmine tea, ginger, grapefruit, orange marmalade, thyme, salt, everything interwoven beautifully and interplay. |
| Финиш | 91 | Drying, orange marmalade, black tea, grapefruit, quite long! |
The nose is clearly ahead, you can feel the age, a solid drop - a nice Littlemill, if I miss a bit of the fruit kick in the mouth (I'm just there on it).

| Нос | — | first of all the seemingly obligatory LM bicycle tube (which I did not have with any LM yet ;-)), lots of lemon, grapefruit, very interwoven, window cleaner, then the whole thing calms down, suddenly a lot of vanilla and light honey, extremely spicy with clove pepper, ginger, Nutmeg, freshly cracked twigs, stripped willow leaves, extremely fruity-spicy now, green gooseberries, extremely grated fresh mint leaves, a touch of licorice, bergamot oil, fresh young ginger, linseed oil, varnish, Boskoopäpfel, Japanese quince, Lassi, saffron, cardamom, Hyssop, sorrel, a little dark cocoa, walnut oil, raspberries, all very dense and intense |
| Вкус | — | creamy-spicy, vanilla, grapefruit juice, baking cocoa, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, astringent, marble cake, strong coffee with cream, far less fruity than in the nose, the spice increases strongly with the second sip, fresh mint, more coffee Cream, more cloves and black pepper now, spicy honey, a touch of licorice, bergamot oil, dandelion and dandelion root, some rose petal tea, walnut oil and peel skin |
| Финиш | — | long, lively, but set at the same time; Here again the grapefruit vanilla combo comes forward, very creamy, fruity, spicy and discreetly bitter balance, very round and compact, again a tick Littlemill bike tube, towards the end unfortunately increasingly, waxy-vanilla ... |

Got this one in a blind tasting, found this typical lowland-style thing in it, this wet cardboard, dusty-like edge. Not really my favorite. In between there's certainly some nice sweet and green flavours, but this dusty influence keeps coming back, preventing me from giving this whisky a much higher score.

| Нос | 85 | Very sweet initially, but almost immediately also some wet cardboard comes in, dusty. A bit vegetal, grassy. After some time the wet cardboard disappears, caramel sweetness. But later on, again the whiffs of wet cardboard peeps around the corner. |
| Вкус | 84 | Pretty strong and powerful, still this wet cardboard-like taste, accompanied with sweet notes, honey. Grassy, and mango now. Later on this dusty edge of wet cardboard returns unfortunately. |
| Финиш | 85 | Pretty strong, honey, sweet, some orange, middle long finish. Mango again. Some bitterness, 'green', vegetal. |

Initially cardboardy and very grainy. This benefits huge amounts from keeping it longer in the glass. Rating after 15 minutes would have been about 87; eventually this is creeping up towards 89.

| Нос | 88 | Sweet, creamy, buttery, fermented barley sourness, greenhouses and initially some cardboard. The latter dissipates with oxidation in the glass. Vanilla, icing sugar, a light fruitiness of unripe apple, apricot and mildly bitter citrus, a bit dusty in the background. |
| Вкус | 89 | Vanilla, grainy cereal, grassy, buttery, slightly cardboardy, apple, pear, light peach, bitter citrus, barley sugar, drying on mildly peppery and dusty wood notes a hint of cinnamon. |

Already in the first tasting I found out that this malt hardly or hardly tolerates water. Therefore, he comes straight to the glass undiluted today. Aroma: The first nose is quite a variety of flavors. Very complex and hard to decode right away. Roughly speaking citrus fruits, vanilla and woody spice. Unfortunately, a light sting from the alcohol. Star fruit, lime, passion fruit, mountain apricot, lychee, lemon zest, profound honey melon, cane sugar, blossom honey, custard, ginger, a sugary-sweet fruit salad with neat juice, grape and white wine grains, spring white, must, the nose is full and top-class, complex, round, sweet, balanced and gets better and more seductive from moment to moment. There are so many different fruit flavors in different stages of maturity that it is almost impossible to name them all. Later come from time to time the wood and spicy aromas through more with the already repeatedly called by other tasters bent young branches and tree sap, which sounds bad when reading but in the nose is great. A great nose! Taste: light, mild, creamy, grapefruit, vanilla, light apricot, oak, again tree sap, again many different citrus fruits, again litchi, lemon candy, ricola herbs .... hmmm ... finish: Unfortunately, the finish is comparatively short ... you think, but it hold a clear citrus note with the Ricola herbs and oak spice in the mouth firmly, to the slightly sticky sweetness, again association of lemon pouring, the finish is not intense, rather subtle but this light and subtle holds on closer inspection quite long. Total: The first tasting had not convinced me so much. It was a great malt but not worth your high price. This time he has put on a big shovel and shows a much more intense and complex picture. Now I'm already much more pondering. As a point of criticism one could see the rather light and "mild" overall concept of the malts. Especially in taste and finish one thinks first "huch, but it is mild, there is not much", but in a rather subliminal way is a great versatility. It's just a lowlander after all. What remains? Dino has once again, as so often, landed a great litter! It is like he is the only bottler who can taste the barrels before and then picks out the grenades with ease and accuracy, and also gets his share. The Littlemill does not come to me for the great Speysider but is (again) big malt cinema.
[August, 2019] Oh, oh Littlemill - no one gave a damn on you as long as you were still alive and it seemed as if you were completely forgotten by 2010. But then... all of a sudden Littlemill rose like a phoenix to a hyped dram. How can this be? So I have to check if the hype is based on quality too or if it is just a collector's / investor's thing... ...and to be honest: Again this bottling proves why Littlemill was neglected by almost all drinkers until the collectors digged it out. It offers a rather limited complexity with some feinty off-notes that maybe some drinkers do enjoy (but I do not, unfortunately). As a drinker I am not willing to spend more than 100 Euro on a bottle of such quality and I am pretty sure that no one will sell a bottle at this price to me (otherwise drop me a message).

| Нос | 86 | The colour is yellow gold and the nose offers a buttery and slightly cheesy profile that reminds me somewhat of Jura drams. After some breathing shy fruits and floral aromas join in but they never make it to the main stage. The wood is appropriate given its age but the complexity is rather limited. And I do not like this cheesy touch, to be honest... |
| Вкус | 88 | The taste is buttery too and without the cheese, luckily. There are some fine fruits and barley sugars before the waxes pop up. This is much better than the nose but is it great? No, still this taste lacks the complexity I expect from a 90+points dram. It is nicely chewable and quaffable, but this is the typical limited Littlemill profile (why nobody cared about this distillery until 2010). |
| Финиш | 86 | The initial mouthfeel is warming with just a minor coating effect and some drying-astringent moments (cold metals) that are not distracting. The finish is of medium length and adds some shy spices and bitter notes (tannins at work). Water releases herbal-waxy aromas in the nose but dilutes the taste too much, so I like to nose it a little reduced but prefer to drink it neat. |

| Нос | 89 | The nose is dominated by yellow fruits, typically orange, pineapple, nectarine, or peach, along with a refreshing floral aroma. It's extremely pleasant to the nose. I could just sniff it for hours. After a while, earthy notes and the scent of a pile of leaves being swept up join in. Everything is accompanied by a constant sweetness. |
| Вкус | 90 | On the palate, you immediately taste a liqueur sweetness and a matching pepperiness. The yellow fruits and the cluster of leaves are also noticeable here. It flatters with a wonderful creaminess. A slight, but not unpleasant, dryness makes itself known. |
| Финиш | 89 | I find the finish to be medium to long. The sweetness remains, with wood notes and subtle pepper. |
For me actually my best ex-Bourbon Littlemill. Having that said - lets try the next port bitch;)

| Нос | 90 | Littlemill is typical for me, full and straightforward. Very light fruit in the form of ripe pears, honeydew melon, star fruit and some pineapple in the background. There are also the representatives who are found in good aged whiskys of: dried apricots and peaches. I have to think of chewing gum, because there is some sugared mint besides the whole fruit. Over time they step back and make room for a well-filled glass of light grape juice, but also a bit sourish comes through, a splash of wine vinegar perhaps. At the second Verriechen I think of a freshly mown meadow. Not the slightest false note. |
| Вкус | 90 | Insanely full and in perfect drinking strength presents the Littlemill on the tongue. The mouthfeel is oily-waxy. The nose is also very well represented here and what I particularly notice is the grapefruit skin on the tongue - unmistakable. Added to this is bergamot, still vanilla, some white pepper. |
| Финиш | 89 | Medium. Next is the grapefruit on werkeln and some forest honey, sawdust and creamy vanilla. |

A elegant and old school but somehow fresh malt. Big! See my full review: https://malternatives.wordpress.com/2019/06/06/littlemill-27yo-mancarella-514/
Fresh and fruity, with fine citrus fruits and grassy, floral notes. Old and solid, yet with volume and its own character. Whether this is a "good" or "bad" Littlemill I can not say, but I find this bottling extremely tasty and refreshing. Thumbs up and earned 90 points! 23/23/22/22 (90P)

| Нос | — | Light amber and cloudy caramel shimmer from the Premium Snifter, on the glass wall many small "legs" pull their tracks back into the glass. Beguiling sweetness in the form of pears and apples, juicy pineapple and creamy apricots, vanilla and shortbread with a few floral and grassy notes paired with honey and a hint of citrus. The alcohol is present from time to time, but wonderfully harmoniously integrated. Three grassy and floral notes increase, as do the sweet pineapple and caramelized sugar. |
| Вкус | — | The first sip flows mildly and creamily over the tongue. A mix of dried and candied fruit sticks to the palate, subtly tickling sharpness between the lips, grapefruit and toffee stimulate the saliva. Minimal wood tones, vanilla sugar and dried apricot, a hint of fishy mint is added. Hints of roasted aromas and mandarins, a dark spice note lies in the background. |
| Финиш | — | Dried fruit sticks to the palate with a dried spice note, citrus fruits run through the mouth with caramel and a hint of butter biscuit. slightly grassy elements follow, hazelnuts appear minimally on the tongue. Grated grapefruit peels and a few drops of lemon juice, yellow fruits and canned tangerines, the aftertaste remains extremely long. |
Had blind sample. What a delicious whisky!
Littlemill 1992 - 2019, 27 years, 51.4% alc. Mancarella. Ageing: Bourbon Hogshead No. 29 Nose: Warm butter and popcorn with caramel sauce, followed by vanilla, delicate spices and some sweet fruit aromas. Canned pineapple, mandarin, honey, ripe peach. This sticky sweetness takes up a lot of space and after what feels like an eternity I also discover dry leaves, grasses and dried clay. Palate: Creamy at first, quickly dries out. The sweetness is there immediately, but seems a little milder. Caramel, fudge, roasted almonds, walnuts and dried apricots. Also butter cake, orange zest and a little paraffin. Finish: Long to very long, dry and now also spicier. Here, too, I am reminded of popcorn with caramel, along with butter biscuits, lemon cake, hazelnuts, almonds and oak wood, a little pepper and allspice. Conclusion: Once again a very exciting Littlemill, which changes from a sticky sweetness to an elegant dryness. A really good bottling. 89/100 points (2024)
Great thing! The nose is a little more reserved. But on the palate it is incredibly lively and densely intertwined with intense fruit sweetness, and the intense, oily tangerine in particular will definitely remain in my memory. Another highlight for me is the salty-sweet combination, no interplay, no counterpoint, just both at the same time: salty and sweet. A great whisky - 01.06.2019

Sensational nose. Marzipan, malt, vanilla, herbs, fresh hay, furniture polish, green pine needles, nutmeg, cereals. In the mouth very diverse flavors. Everything the smell has already promised ... and more. I can not understand everything. Great mouthfeel. Medium to long finish, light sweetness with lots of wood and hay / cereal notes.

Another malt that is hyped by a certain group into the bottomless ... I do not understand the evaluations of this very one-dimensional and really mediocre littlemill. Tastes are known to be different, but anyone who has ever tasted a few Littlemill, they can compare with each other and comes doubly free to a judgment.
