The nose shared many similarities with Bowmore releases from after 2000. Littlemill LITTLEMILL 1991-2012 21 Year Old Svensk Whiskyformedling 47.3% The aroma featured tropical notes of passion fruit, grassy elements, a paper-like quality, and vanilla. On the palate, it offered a smooth mouthfeel with tropical characteristics similar to the nose, along with a slight grassy bitterness and gentle sweetness. The finish was clear but not long-lasting. 【Good/Very Good】 This bottling by the Swedish bottler Svensk Whiskyformedling features Littlemill 1991, aged for 21 years. Both the aroma and flavor prominently showcased tropical passion fruit notes alongside a paper-like quality, making it feel closer to other recent bottles with Irish influences. Compared to others, it had less heaviness or muddiness, offering a more transparent fruitiness akin to recent Bowmore releases. The paper-like quality combined with the tropical elements evoked a sense of post-2000 Bowmore without peat. If the paper-like note isn't bothersome, this bottling stands out as a distinctive example among recent Littlemill releases that might otherwise feel slightly overdone.
