Berry’s Own Selection 1988 Littlemill 25

Country: Scotland

Region: Lowlands

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Berry Bros. & Rudd

ABV: 46%

Score: 92 Points

This Littlemill single malt from Berry Bros. & Rudd was matured for 25 years in an ex-Sherry hogshead cask, and was bottled with no chill-filtering or added coloring. The nose has notes of dried flowers, green grapes, coconut, banana, vanilla, nutmeg, linseed oil, and a hint of brown sugar underneath. The taste is fruity and vibrant with peaches, red apples, nutmeg, and linseed oil in good balance. The finish is dry, floral, aromatic, and fresh. Excellent! (September, 2015)
