Linkwood Pure Highland Malt Scotch Whisky 12 Year Old · 1972 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with mahogany and copper highlights.

Nose

Opulent nose of plush orchard fruit—golden apples and pears—paired with dried fig and raisin from sherry cask maturity. Vanilla, almond, and caramel weave through toasted oak, with a whisper of orange zest and spice. Rich, elegant, and warming, like holiday pudding steeped in aged sherry.

Palate

Silky on the palate, with honeyed sweetness and orchard-fruit notes of pear and apple. Sherry influence brings raisin and fig, paired with creamy vanilla and almond. Subtle cinnamon and nutmeg spice drift through toasted oak, finishing long with dried fruit, cocoa, and a citrus kiss.

Finish

Silky, long finish of sherry-kissed fruit and toasted oak. Dried orange and fig mingle with hints of cocoa and spice, slowly fading into a refined, lingering sweetness and a final whisper of oak.
