Bester Whisky bei whiskyfun.com:
Littlemill 16 yo 1991 (53.8%, Exclusive Malts, cask #166, 251 bottles, 2007)
Colour: straw. Nose: much more happening here, starting with ripe kiwis and apples plus nice touches of oak and vanilla. It gets more special after that, getting quite resinous and waxy. Quite some mint, a little eucalyptus, apple skin, whiffs of incense and sandalwood… We have also spicy herbs like parsley and chives, lovage… Old wooden cupboard, wax polish, roasted nuts… Quite superb I must say, complex and assertive. This was an excellent cask it seems. Mouth: in the same vein, except that it’s the resinous side that speaks first. Quite thick, bold… Nice tannins, white pepper, caramelised nuts, praline, vanilla crème… Then quite some liquorice. The oak is very present and keeps the whole compact and very satisfying. Finish: long, nutty and spicy (white pepper and touches of nutmeg and cloves). A very, very good Littlemill, unusually demonstrative, especially on the nose. Probably one of the best I could try up to now. 88 points.
