Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 돌리면 매니저스 드램으로 병입된 링크우드 12년이 59.5도의 힘으로 잔 벽을 진하게 적신다. 코를 가져가면 레몬과 자몽, 바닐라에 더해 버섯과 녹찻잎, 담배의 흙내음이 복합적으로 올라온다. 한 모금을 조심스레 머금으면 레몬과 후추, 고추의 매콤함이 강렬하게 입천장을 자극하며 물을 부르는 야성을 드러낸다. 삼킨 뒤에는 풀과 쌉쌀한 허브의 끝맛이 길고 매콤하게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
very much the same style as the JMcA, this one being just a notch fruitier, with a little more lemon and grapefruit and rather less porridgy notes. Globally cleaner and rounder, I’d say. Vanilla, fur… With water: it got completely different from the JMcA now. Rather more mushroomy, in a great way. Amazing how Linkwood plays well with water on the nose (emphasis on nose). Also a lot of green tea leaves, tobacco
restaurant Palate
wham! Tons of lemon and pepper, a lot of chilli too… What a monster, water is obligatory. With water: that worked this time. Grassy, greatly bitter, lemony, earthy… To think that Linkwood is categorised as a ‘light’ malt!
timer Finish
very long, very spicy, very grassy. Touches of bitter herbs in the aftertaste
