Limited Edition
Single Cask

Unchillfiltered, Uncoloured
Totally Unpeated
Douglas Laing & Co. is one of the last independent bottlers to offer Single Casks at reasonable prices. Of course, the downside is that they are reduced and not very old. Here we have a Linkwood aged for 8 years and 11 months in a Bourbon single cask and bottled in 325 units.
Let's Taste It :
Very fruity nose, with a full fruit basket, orchard fruits, apples, pears, peaches, all very juicy, but also exotic fruits, litchi, kiwi, pineapple, and a few red fruits, grapes, plums, anyway, it would take too long to list them all. Slight country hints in the background, hay, dry straw, earth. A little iodine. The palate is a bit light, unfortunately, but it's honest, still on the fruit, with spices, turmeric, paprika, saffron. The finish, on the other hand, is very good, very long, a little charred, but once again on crushed blackberries and wine lees. A real festival.
In Short,
This Linkwood is really amazing, I didn't think you could put so much fruits in one bottle. A good summer whisky, and what's more at a low price, I highly recommend buying it, in fact I think I'll have one.
Score : 87
