Tasting notes for Littlemill 33 year old 1965 Scott’s Selection bottling

Scott’s Selection bottling, 58.9% a.b.v.

Nose shows yellow plum, old woods, treacle.  Palate shows marshmallows under a thick slice of sherry cake, slivered almonds, and true (liquor-soaked) fruitcake.  The finish is intially clean and dry, moving to spices and warmth.  From the appearance of the spirit, it looks like this malt spent the whole 33 years in a sherry cask, but I am almost certain it spent its whole life in bourbon.  This is a charming bottling, and I highly recommend it.

Suggested for: With dessert
