Linkwood Connoisseurs Choice - Single Cask #6965 Whisky 33 Year Old · 1990 Vintage

Colour

Deep coppery amber with mahogany depth and a warm ruby glint.

Nose

Opulent and warm, this nose is sherried and inviting: dark plums, dried figs, prune and sultana mingle with orange zest and toasted almond. Rich cocoa and espresso hints emerge as oak sweetens, while cinnamon and clove drift over honeyed malt. A touch of antique leather and cedar finish the perfume, elegant and slow-building.

Palate

Silky and decadent on the palate, this Linkwood delivers sherry-soft richness—raisin, fig and dried cherry mingle with almond and dark chocolate. Spices arrive with cinnamon, clove and nutmeg, framed by polished oak and a touch of leather. The 49.1% ABV lends warmth and balance, while orange zest and coffee notes linger into a long, luxurious finish of fruit, spice and cocoa.

Finish

Long, luxurious, and relentlessly warming, the finish pours dried fig and raisin sweetness married to cocoa and orange zest, carried by a ribbon of integrated sherry spice. Nutty almond notes and a whisper of leather linger through fine oak tannins, tapering to a silky, chocolate-dusted dryness that invites another sip.
