Tasting Notes
This Linkwood 16 Year Old single malt is a true gem from the Speyside region. Matured entirely in an oloroso sherry cask for 16 long years, it unveils a delightful array of flavors and aromas. Upon nosing, you're greeted with a delectable melange of plum jam, sticky toffee, and drying kitchen herbs, complemented by notes of forest fruits and dried citrus that unfold over time. On the palate, it's a symphony of soft orchard fruits like apricot and pear, accompanied by a touch of fennel and a velvety honey sweetness. The nutty malt and rich oak contribute a delicate spice, creating a harmonious balance. The finish is a lingering crescendo of dried berries, stone fruits, oily malt, burnt brown sugar, and a delightful interplay of sweet and savory spices. This well-sherried Speysider, independently bottled by North Star Spirits, is a true testament to the art of cask maturation, offering a splendid tasting experience for whisky enthusiasts.
