Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
starts with just a little chlorine, it’s just like you’re entering Monte Carlo’s municipal swimming pool. After that, there’s a much unexpected coastal peatiness, then ‘a walk in the forest after a heavy shower’, then bags of fruit peelings, first apples, then kiwis and (probably) mangos. A very un-Linkwood Linkwood so far, interesting… With water: becomes both even more coastal, and more ‘Linkwood’. Where is Linkwood Distillery again?
restaurant Palate
ex-Islay cask? Marzipan and peat, smoked salmon, sour cream, cough medicine, apple peelings, butter pears. How unusual indeed. With water: it’s got something of some ex-Seagram peated Benriachs, as far as I can remember. I find some lime, smoke, lemon, sage…
timer Finish
rather long, maritime and citrusy. In short, not very ‘Linkwood’, but certainly very good
