Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

many old bottlings like this one do share some common trait, especially the ‘old young ones’. And that would be a combination of soot and metal polish, which is totally the case here. Actually, this baby’s got strictly nothing to do with the rounder, richer, fruitier and, more than anything else, more floral notes that are to be found in fresher bottlings of Linkwood. Also rocks, clay, coal smoke, ham, sorrel soup and paraffin. You say Linkwood?

restaurant Palate

really huge, close to Clynelish 5, just a tad gentler and perhaps a notch maltier. But other than that, you’re having some of the thickest, most extreme manzanilla. En Rama! (unfiltered). Lustau have got such full-bodied ‘nillas – not their regular Papirusa. Anyway, a spectacular young Linkwood, very old-school. Was it still direct fired? Worm coils?

timer Finish

long and very salty, dry, meaty, smoky, austere… It was not one of those young malts that used to be advertised as ‘lighter malt whiskies’ at all
