Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

a rather typical light Linkwood, closer to the barley, with some floral notes and touches of raspberry jam. Also a little aniseed and, again and again, liquorice. Nice fresh nose

restaurant Palate

pretty well in the style of the 11yo but lighter and rather more elegant. Apple juice, kriek beer (cherries again), brioche, a little bitter orange and then touches of cloves and caraway seeds. Some caramel as well

timer Finish

medium long, clean, more on stewed fruits and a little burnt caramel and raisins. Ovaltine and touches of bitter oak in the aftertaste
