This 11 year old Linkwood has been bottled under the Whisky Trail label. It was distilled in 2010 and matured in a Hogshead (almost certainly sherry) before bottling at 55.5%.
700ml mlAndrew's Tasting Note
Nose: Jujubes, coffee grounds, and toasted oak; treacle, Turtles, and decadent spices; candied orange, melon liqueur, and marzipan.
Palate: big, rich, and sherried; leather, chocolate Turtles, treacle, and Christmas cake; a touch nutty, more Jujubes, dried fruits, and candied orange.
Finish: medium in length, warming and spicy with fading toasted oak, decadent spices, and soft fruits; late floral tones.
Comment: young and a touchy spirit-y, but balanced with soft sherry tones and lots of fruits; on the finish, you can find just a trace of the thick pillowy floral tones you sometimes see in young Longmorn.
