Linkwood Spyniemor Whisky Miniature 22 Year Old · 1972 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with mahogany depth and copper-bronze highlights.

Nose

Opulent sherry-led aroma with dried figs, raisins and prunes, layered with orange zest and dark plum. Rich caramel, toffee and molasses twist through cinnamon and vanilla, underpinned by polished oak. A note of walnut and cocoa nibs adds depth, while a resinous hint lingers, echoing aged cask and the luxurious spice of time.

Palate

Opulent on the palate, Linkwood unfurls sherry-laden richness: dried fig and raisin mingle with dark chocolate and toasted almond. Plush plums and orange marmalade kiss a hint of spice—cinnamon and clove—over velvety oak. Full-bodied, slightly waxy, with a luxurious mouthfeel and a long, warming finish.

Finish

Long and indulgent, the finish unfurls with velvety sherry sweetness and restrained spice. Dried fig, raisin and date mingle with dark chocolate and toasted oak, coating the palate with a sumptuous richness. Orange zest gives a citrus lift as clove and pepper warmth lingers, fading to a refined, lingering tobacco-like whisper that remains elegant and persistent.
