5 years Spirits Whisky (2009-2014) anniversary bottling

Tasting notes Serge Valentin: 90 points (Whiskyfun.com)

Erm, another 1988, this should be close. BTW, this one was approx 60% cheaper than the DL when it came out. Just saying.

Colour: pale gold.

Nose: obviously very similar, but maybe a tad steelier, more mineral, and a wee notch more leathery. Other than that, it’s pretty much the same whisky. With water: in my experience Littlemill is prone to saponification, so let’s wait. Zzzz… No, it swims a little better than the DL. Fresh almonds, Alep soap (poor Alep), grass…

Mouth (neat): same whisky, almost and foremost. Perhaps a little more on oranges and a little less on mangos. Splitting hairs. With water: orange wine, ratafia, not-too-sweet limoncello…

Finish: long, clean, zesty, Littlemill.

Comments: swims a little better, so one more point. Great Littlemill if you like very zesty malts.
