Nose: quite mineral and grassy at first, a bit dusty too if I might say so.. I was expecting some fruit, and those do appear but not right away, you need to ‘work’, to get to those. Some time in the glass will help of course, and some nectarines will show up, as long with hints of vanilla, and some pine resin,as well as kumquat too,damp warehouses come to mind as well.
Palate : quite different than the nose, and more fruity indeed, as I was happy to discover. Unripe banana, green mango, and rose petals which give it a nice twist, then the bitter wood notes balance it nicely.
Finish: a perfumed finish on the verge of fwp almost.. Tangerine and more rose water.


A very nice Littlemill, which takes to ‘open up’ as to speak, a very nice start to the tasting, although far from my favorite dram of the evening.
