Cadenhead’s (distilled at Littlemill, 1989, 61.6%)
White wine color. Sweet aromas of confectioner’s sugar, toasted marshmallow, honey, and coconut. Its flavors mirror its aroma, with a pleasing creamy, almost buttery, texture and soft, gentle finish.
Style: Lowland single malt Scotch whisky. Price: approx. $115. Availability: limited distribution nationwide (imported by Preiss Imports, 760/789-6010).
This is among the best Littlemills I have ever tasted. Its flavors are nicely balanced, and it is fully mature at 11 years. Creamy and pleasantly sweet, it makes for a nice after dinner dram.

Murray McDavid (distilled at Littlemill), 1991 vintage, 16 year old, 46%, $90
A rather soft whisky, with gently sweet notes of vanilla, marshmallow, and macaroon, with underlying tropical fruit, cut grass, and subtle spearmint. A feminine whisky to have with dessert—or as dessert.

79
Littlemill, 12 year old, 43%, $62
Quite palate-coating for a Lowlander, with sweet notes of vanilla malt, grist, honey and marshmallow. More subtle notes of cut grass, linseed oil, rubber erasers, and chalky antacid tablets. A peculiar-tasting whisky.
