Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
well, it’s no smooth one either, but indeed the oak’s more discernable, with touches of vanilla and even coconut as well as quite some tobacco. Other than that, we have hay and earth everywhere and that’s very nice. White chocolate. With water: it’s a well-known song, several tertiary aromas start to appear, including shoe polish, tobacco, new leather, earth… A nice woodiness too (freshly broken branches)
restaurant Palate
excellent attack, very fruity, with bags of oranges and then the spices kick in, pepper, cloves, nutmeg, ginger… It’s a funny combination of some big spirit with some lightness inside – or isn’t it the other way ‘round? With water: quite perfect and perfectly Linkwood, with these flavours that I usually associate with Linkwood, that is to say Turkish delights, orange blossom water and some very fresh fruits (blood oranges?) It’s only in the background that something that might not be 100% perfect shows up. Paraffin?
timer Finish
long, all on grapefruits and bitter oranges, with touches of cardamom and ginger
