Tasting Notes
Colour
Dark amber with mahogany reflections.
Nose
Opulent sherry-driven nose of Linkwood offers rich dried fruits—prune, fig, raisin—with orange zest, toasted almond and a whisper of dark chocolate. Cinnamon and clove spices mingle with polished oak and vanilla, while delicate floral notes from the Speyside malt lift the bouquet to a refined, high-strength allure.
Palate
Silky and substantial on the palate, this Linkwood carries a rich, sherry-influenced sweetness: fig, raisin and orange marmalade layered with toasted almond and spice. A refined malt core keeps it elegant, while oak depth and a whisper of cocoa add ballast. Long, warming finish with lingering fruit, spice and subtle floral note.
Finish
Long and luxurious, the finish unfurls with warmed spice and oak, braided with opulent oloroso dried fruit. Raisin, fig and orange peel linger as the high strength softens, with hints of almond and cocoa surfacing. A refined, persistent echo of floral Speyside threads through the finale, leaving a silky, warming glow.
