Product Description
After 16 years in a first fill bourbon barrel, this fruity Linkwood is layered with creamy vanilla and soft spices. The bright floral and grassy notes we associate with this Speyside distillery have developed into perfumed notes of elderflower, citrus oils and sherbet. A great example of how single malt matured in top-quality American oak can gain structure and depth while retaining its freshness. We selected this single cask from the warehouses of Signatory Vintage in Perthshire and we are delighted to offer it exclusively to customers of The Whisky Exchange.

Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
Joe Rogers (The Whisky Exchange)
Nose
Cloudy apple juice, elderflowers, fresh linens, buttercream, lemon and grapefruit.
Palate
Grapefruits, blood oranges and chinotto. Then rice pudding, golden syrup, limoncello, vanilla wafers, golden sultanas, a little wheat beer, freshly baked white bread spread with salted butter, starfruit, white flowers and sherbet.
Finish
A classic Linkwood profile here, but those layers of citrus make this cask particularly interesting. The colour is a deep yellow gold, but the American oak influence shows mostly in those rich buttery notes rather than overly sweet vanilla. Lovely stuff.
