Littlemill 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

The lowland whiskies of Scotland in many respects reflect the landscape they are produced in. The countryside is certainly not without natural beauty, however it lacks the dramatic and rugged contrasts of the Highland and Island regions. Lowland whiskies consequently are generally used as background material for blends and have historically been unappreciated (or at least largely neglected) by malt enthusiasts. Nevertheless, it would be a mistake to belittle the Lowlands. Their whiskies offer a refreshing contrast to the heavier, peatier malts of the north.

Tasting note: The nosing passes find sweet scents of honeywheat toast, breakfast cereal, peat moss/vegetation, baked pear and baked pineapple. The palate entry features elegant tastes of key lime, meringue and toffee; the midpalate phase offers deeper flavors that include marshmallow, dark caramel, cocoa, cinnamon, marzipan, and maple. Finishes sweet, concentrated and smooth. Rating: 90-95 points

Other reviews... Quite palate-coating for a Lowlander, with sweet notes of vanilla malt, grist, honey and marshmallow. More subtle notes of cut grass, linseed oil, rubber erasers, and chalky antacid tablets. A peculiar-tasting whisky. 40% Alc./Vol. Rating: 79 points
