Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
pure! It’s the kind of lovely nose you may get from an x-fill cask, provided you’ve given it enough time. The whisky’s become very complex, void of any big/bold (read dominant) aromas, on many soft fruits and many flowers and herbs. I find whiffs of old roses that I could find in other old Linkwoods in the past, a little patchouli, hay, chamomile, cider apples, fresh mint, wormwood, maybe fennel, some very soft vanilla, wee touches of old style perfume (Jean Patou-style), then more complex teas, white needles, wulongs and such. Brilliant, but it needs you attention
restaurant Palate
as delicate as an old chenin from Loire, really. Some pineapple but not too much, some light honey, tangerines, a soft spiciness, then more herbs around chives and parsley (perhaps), not-too-ripe gooseberries and plums, lemon curd… It’s all a little more immediate than on the nose, but it remains subtle
timer Finish
longer than expected, and more citrusy than expected. Loses just a little stamina here
