Limited release from 2022 - I prefer this to the committee release Ardcore which is at a higher ABV not sure if the parcel of casks was bottled later and improved a bit for the limited release - more bourbon cask notes - maple syrup and caramels so maybe they used more first fill bourbon for this batch. Lemon, heather, salted caramel - bitter note on the finish
Reasonably high peat and smoke & finishes quite nicely. Pair with blue cheese & dried apricots & BBQ

Bonfire with Mermaids
Some lovely ocean spray and subtle smoke on the nose. More of the ocean than the fire on the nose at least. Sweet upfront and then a little prickly, but beautifully done. Apricot jam which reveals freshly cracked black pepper, that smoothens into cured meats and honey. This dram gives a charcuterie board alongside a cigar. A taster is well worthwhile as this has certainly moved me towards buying a bottle.
I've actually been wanting to taste this so I can make up my mind to buy a bottle. When I found your site and saw it had this I immediately bought some tasting samples and absolutely loved it! Will definitely invest in a bottle
Heard for a while how good Littlemill’s can be. This SMWS 30yo certainly did not disappoint, the nose on this dram was amazing.
It was a flavour packed palete, that certainly stood out as such a fine whisky.
Thanks again Horny Pony for providing some banging drams, with a great service throughout
