Gloin scored this whisky 89 points 
The smell is very complex and changes after a while. You can literally feel the struggle between the fresh, sour and exotic notes of the Littlemill basic character and the influence of the sherry barrel. The barrel loses. In the mouth then the barrel influence is stronger, but not the sherry, but more of the oak. In the finish finally sets the oak and reveals now but the age of whisky. Overall, the influence of sherry is low, if the wood can prevail later. This could disappoint the expectations of some whisky matured on a sherry barrel. But if you ignore this, there remains an exciting complex whisky that does not hide its origin.

Fresh, citrus and exotic fruits, lime, kiwi, initially sour, but then sweetened immediately, orange, spicy, ground almonds, now also some stone fruit, cherries, earthy notes, rotten wood, moss mix in the background The longer you smell, the more intense the tart, nutty notes become.
-
Soft body, but strong onset, the sour impressions of the nose continue, but the bitter, bitter influences of the oak are increasing, the fruity notes develop more towards sour cherries, the citrus notes remain in the background.
-
In the finish shows the age, tender bitter wood notes, nuts, dates, the tart taste of bitter bread crust remains the longest on the palate, but the finish is rather medium-long.
