Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
리필 버번 호그스헤드에서 열두 해를 보낸 원액은 링크우드 특유의 맑고 꽃 같은 결을 그대로 간직한다. 코에는 풋사과와 배, 갓 자른 들풀과 레몬 제스트가 산뜻하게 피어난다. 입에서는 59.1도의 기세가 바닐라 크림과 시트러스, 보리 단맛을 또렷하게 밀어 올린다. 빛깔은 옅은 볏짚색으로 투명하고, 여운에는 화이트 페퍼와 풀잎의 청량함이 깔끔하게 잠겨 있다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
very much the same style as the JMcA, this one being just a notch fruitier, with a little more lemon and grapefruit and rather less porridgy notes. Globally cleaner and rounder, I’d say. Vanilla, fur… With water: it got completely different from the JMcA now. Rather more mushroomy, in a great way. Amazing how Linkwood plays well with water on the nose (emphasis on nose). Also a lot of green tea leaves, tobacco
restaurant Palate
wham! Tons of lemon and pepper, a lot of chilli too… What a monster, water is obligatory. With water: that worked this time. Grassy, greatly bitter, lemony, earthy… To think that Linkwood is categorised as a ‘light’ malt!
timer Finish
very long, very spicy, very grassy. Touches of bitter herbs in the aftertaste
