Littlemill 1992 Ma Limited Edition

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.

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 .. .

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.

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.

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).

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.

had this one blindly, yes, it is a Littlemill indeed!

22+21.5+22+22

Blind Tasting

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.

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).

For me actually my best ex-Bourbon Littlemill. Having that said - lets try the next port bitch;)

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)

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.

A good to very good Littlemill, but can not compete with the very large bottlings. Above all, I personally miss the tropical fruits and the alcohol is very present.
