Linkwood Single Malts Of Scotland Single Cask #800856 Whisky 14 Year Old · 2008 Vintage

Colour

Golden amber with warm honey undertones and a coppery glow.

Nose

Bold, sun-kissed orchard fruit leads the aromatic charge—ripe pear, green apple and lemon zest—softened by honeyed malt, vanilla, and graceful oak. A thread of dried fruit and gentle spice—cinnamon, clove—lingers, with a warm, nutty backbone from the single hogshead that hints at depth and refinement.

Palate

Opulent and bold on the palate, this Linkwood pours honeyed orchard fruit with dried apricot and orange zest, carried by sherry-toned oak. Rich vanilla, cocoa and soft spice mingle with a warming backbone from 58.9% ABV, ending in a long, balanced finish of almond, toffee and subtle oak tannin.

Finish

Long and luxurious, the finish coats the palate with dark fruit, cocoa and warm spice, carried by gentle oak. A silky sweetness lingers, yielding to a peppery, refined fade that carries on well beyond the last sip.
