They all have or had 1988 Littlemills. Colour: gold. Nose: there’s more oak in this one, that is to say more coffee and toasted wood, but it does ‘the Meursault’ after just two seconds, becoming wide, full, superbly fruity, and beautifully herbal. Right, right, that would be passion fruits, mangos, papayas, patchouli, grass, and walnut skins. This works wonderfully. A little marzipan too. With water: doesn’t swim extremely well. Some cardboardy notes. To hell with water! Mouth (neat): perfect fruits, and all that. Very late period Littlemill, everything is fresh, tropical, zesty, and feisty. I haven’t got anything to say against this very lovely, very bright Littlemill. With water: fruit syrups and liqueurs. Limoncello. A grassy bitterness beyond all that, which keeps it straight. Finish: long, clean, zesty, tropical. Comments: less Irish than the 1965 for sure. Only the way it takes water makes it lose one or two points in my book, but it’s a great fruity drop
