SMWS Tasting Notes: A big and cluttered aroma full of toasted oak, pencil graphite, cluttered workshops full of oily rags and wood shavings. Sawdusty overalls and orange liqueurs (such as aged Cointreau), then herbal jellies, jasmine tea and rosewater. Reduction brings spiced lemon chutney, chai tea, freshly varnished furniture, fir wood and tea tree oil. To taste this one had an initial hit of mint tea infused with liquorice and fennel seed, then paprika, spiced venison salami and boot polish. Some sticky pecan pie stuck in our teeth! Water brought toffee apples, leaf mulch, fruit-scented pipe tobacco, petrichor, eucalyptus bark and spiced rum cocktails. A lovely slick of 1950s Fernet Branca with chocolate sauce. Previously in a bourbon hogshead for five years before being transferred to first fill Spanish oak PX hogshead.
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
An absolutely amazing whisky, this Imperial 24yo was flavour heaven. Could see from the second it was poured into the Glencairn that it was something special.
Also the service provided by Horny Pony was brilliant, well recommended for anyone looking for trying some special whiskies.
