Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 링크우드 특유의 꽃향과 시트러스에 옥타브 캐스크가 더한 향신료가 명확하게 드러난다. 2009 빈티지 11년 숙성을 거친 이 보틀링은 54.1도의 도수에서 또렷하고 생기 있는 질감을 보이며, 입에서는 보리 단맛과 잘 익은 배, 정향이 균형 있게 발전한다. 우아한 스페이사이드 몰트에 작은 캐스크가 더한 구조감이 중심을 잡는다. 피니시는 달콤한 향신료와 은은한 오크가 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
rich gold
air Nose
it is a sourer proposition, with more wine and cordials, orange wine, shoe polish, unexpected whiffs of wood smoke, and really a lot of petroly riesling. I really wouldn't know where all this is coming from. Other than that, we've got some fudge and custard, which come expected. Linkwood's trademark floral side is back as well, with indeed wisteria but also its older marker, rose petals. With water: nuttier, once again you would believe it was sherry. There's even a little 'good sulphur'. Gun that shot
restaurant Palate
a lot of action in here, shoe and metal polishes, plasticine, triple-sec, tobacco and old walnuts, a little rum. With water: once again, are we dead sure this wasn't sherry? Does Linkwood harbour some sherry notes by birth? We would have known, I suppose
timer Finish
rather long, lovely, kind of a little antique, rather in the style of much older bottlings, with some meaty, metallic, and smoky sides. Even a little cognac
