Linkwood Hogmanay Dram Whisky Miniature 10 Year Old · 1988 Vintage

Colour

Bright honey-gold with warm amber and copper undertones, a luminous, sun-kissed glow.

Nose

Sherry-rich aromatics rise from the glass, with dried fig and raisin, orange zest, and honeyed apple. Vanilla oak and almond paste provide elegance, while gentle nutmeg and clove spice weave through, finished by a whisper of cocoa and toffee—a festive, warming nose.

Palate

Silky, medium-bodied, the palate unfolds with honeyed orchard fruits—apple and pear—alongside dried fig and raisin. Sherry-softened sweetness, brown sugar and toffee mingle with almond and vanilla. Gentle spice—cinnamon and nutmeg—drifts through a polished oak finish, long and warm.

Finish

Warm, long and softly sherried, this finishes with honeyed orchard fruit and orange zest that linger over silky oak. Dried raisin and cocoa emerge, joined by gentle spice—cinnamon and nutmeg—holding on through a clean, enduring sweetness that invites another sip.
