Using cider casks is illegal under SWA rules. Glen Moray argued that these barrels were their barrels first that had been used to make barrel-aged craft cider - Thistly Cross and then returned so they have previously held bourbon and scotch whisky and are not exclusively cider casks. Only 2000 bottles were produced and SWA have banned them from repeating this project. The whisky itself is divisive - lovely nose and unsurprisingly plenty of apple notes. Now these bottles have more than quadrupled in price as collectors are interested in this curiosity.
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
An absolutely amazing whisky, this Imperial 24yo was flavour heaven. Could see from the second it was poured into the Glencairn that it was something special.
Also the service provided by Horny Pony was brilliant, well recommended for anyone looking for trying some special whiskies.
