Linkwood Carn Mor Strictly Limited Sherry Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky 8 Year Old · 2013 Vintage

Colour

Dark amber with coppery-bronze highlights and a mahogany glow.

Nose

Opulent sherry aromas lift over Linkwood's orchard fruit—ripe figs and cherries meld with raisins and orange zest; warm toffee, cocoa and toasted almond drift through elegant oak and spice, with a kiss of cinnamon and clove, sealing a polished, velvety bouquet.

Palate

Velvety and full-bodied, this Linkwood delivers lavish sherry richness. Dried figs and raisins mingle with orange zest, toffee and dark chocolate, while cinnamon, nutmeg and a hint of ginger weave through warm oak, vanilla and almond. The mouthfeel is coating and elegant, finishing long with espresso, leather and drying spice.

Finish

Sherry-kissed and luxurious, the finish lingers with velvet warmth. Dried plum, raisin and fig weave with cacao and toasted almond, while orange zest threads a bright lift. Cinnamon and clove spice sit atop toasted oak, slowly fading into a refined, cocoa-dusted sweetness. Long, creamy and persistent, it leaves a warm, elegant glow that invites another sip.
