Linkwood Signatory Vintage - Oloroso Sherry Cask Matured Whisky 11 Year Old · 2012 Vintage

Colour

Deep mahogany amber with copper-gold highlights and a glossy, wine-stain depth.

Nose

Opulent sherry on the nose, with dark raisin, fig and orange zest interlaced with treacle toffee. Aromatic almond and vanilla mingle with polished oak, a touch of cocoa and leather, and a gentle waft of spice that promises depth and warmth.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied on the palate, this Linkwood carries a velvet mix of dried orange, fig and date, folded with toasted almond and dark chocolate. Oloroso influence delivers warm caramel, toffee and spice—cinnamon and clove—underpinned by rancio depth and a touch of rich oak. Creamy, slightly oily mouthfeel with a long finish of toffee, fig and cacao.

Finish

Long and luxurious, the finish is drenched in oloroso depth: dark dried fruits, toasted almond and cocoa drift with warm spice, riding polished oak into a slow, nutty, lingering fade.
