Littlemill, The Vanguards, No.1 Robert Muir, 45-Year-Old, Lowland, Single Malt Scotch Whisky (50.5%)(70cl +5cl)

Emblematic of the Littlemill style, this is remarkably youthful for a 45-year-old whisky. The nose is brimming with apple, elderflower, hazelnuts and grapefruit. On the palate, the complexity gained from its advanced age becomes apparent. A silky texture dances in the mouth with cherrywood, caramelised brown sugar, candied peel, sultanas and grilled pineapple lingering for what feels like an endless length of time. This is a unique and seriously exciting dram.
