Despite the cancellation of Tasmania's Dark Mofo Festival due to COVID-19, the Devils Distillery went ahead with a follow up to their 2019 'Winter Feast' tribute - this time with strikethrough text on the front label. Three years in small ex-bourbon casks followed by an 18 month finishing in a 200L ex-bourbon cask previously used to mature maple syrup makes for a dark coloured, woody malt. Initially you get some of the characteristics of over-aged Armagnac on the nose, before American oak pushes through sweeter scents of vanilla, cocoa, caramel and light sticky date. It's Bourbonesque on the palate too, starting out with low-key fruity malt and vanilla wafer flavours, finishing with maple drizzled buckwheat pancakes and fading with fresh cut oak. One of 379 bottles.
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.
