Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
very spirity at first sniffs (cologne) but there’s also nice notes of brown sugar, tarte tatin and vanilla cake. Also a little metal and soot (OBE) and, maybe, touches of roses. Not easy to enjoy at full strength. With water: wonderful development on tar, smoke, iron and gravel. Was there ever a distillery called Linkwood on Islay?
restaurant Palate
excellent attack, very nervous, very citrusy, sharp, ‘chiselled’… Impressive mouth feel. I wouldn’t say it’s a surprise but frankly, this is excellent. So much better than the darker versions so far… With water: more herbs, grass, smoke, tar… So you say there was never any distillery called Linkwood on Islay?
timer Finish
long, very sooty. You have to like that but if you do… Sadly, the aftertaste is very drying and oddly salty in this context
