Millburn 25yo 1981-2006 46% Robert Castle Ltd. for Juuls Flight No4 btl. x/803
A nice and pale sherry matured Millburn, I must say I ususally do like my Millburn a bit under 50% abv. A sweet and nice smell, with a small hint of laurel. The first taste is strong, not much sherry influence to be found here, but the malt itself seems to have some dark chocolate and sour cream notes. It's a bit dry, but then again, the aftertaste is fruity with honey, kiwi, pears and coconut. All in all a very fine old malt.
I guess it's a shame this distillery is gone: 6

I really enoyed the last Millburn I tried. Could this be one of those distilleries that people discover a bit too late? At first it smells absurdly mild, I guess it needs some time. After a while some gentle odors of leather and honey appears. The taste is kind of supreme, it has a warmth and depth I don't see very often. Very gentle and mild, but it's not that sweet. The aftertaste is a bit lemony and quite peppery. With some added water It opens a bit up and the line between palate and finish becomes even clearer.
Not a classic, but charming and honest: 5.5

Mixed scents of nuts and peppermint, reminds me somehow of a young Highland Park. Good fragrances of honey, peppermint and burnt sugar. It is a great shame that this distillery now definately is out of business.
I'm amazed and saddened: 9
