This is a big brutal young sherry cask Ben Nevis - people love it or hate it. You decide.... Thompson Brothers from the Dornoch Castle Hotel ran one of the best whisky bars in the world and now are an independent bottler with fantastic whisky in colourful unmistakeable bottles. Now they have released their first whiskies from Dornoch Distillery - expecting great things as they rarely disappoint. Imported to Australia by Select Spirits/The Elysian - worth checking their store for when the next bottles come in.
Some lovely ocean spray and subtle smoke on the nose. More of the ocean than the fire on the nose at least. Sweet upfront and then a little prickly, but beautifully done. Apricot jam which reveals freshly cracked black pepper, that smoothens into cured meats and honey. This dram gives a charcuterie board alongside a cigar. A taster is well worthwhile as this has certainly moved me towards buying a bottle.
I've actually been wanting to taste this so I can make up my mind to buy a bottle. When I found your site and saw it had this I immediately bought some tasting samples and absolutely loved it! Will definitely invest in a bottle
Heard for a while how good Littlemill’s can be. This SMWS 30yo certainly did not disappoint, the nose on this dram was amazing.
It was a flavour packed palete, that certainly stood out as such a fine whisky.
Thanks again Horny Pony for providing some banging drams, with a great service throughout
