When they don't make Finlaggan or other Highland Blended Malt, the guys at The Vintage Mat Whisky Co. devote themselves to this series, which brings together nice Single Casks from all over Scotland. This time it's a Linkwood, matured very simply in a Bourbon Barrel, and reserved for the French market. It gave 318 bottles.
Let's Taste It :
A veritable cascade of fruits on the nose, which is exactly the distillery's classic profile, and so much the better: juicy pears, peaches, mandarins, bananas, kiwis, lychees, slightly acid apples and a few gooseberries, with a lovely fresh fullness. On the palate, the fruits are still present, along with vanilla and lemon, some walnuts and hazelnuts, rich and varied spices, nutmeg, cumin, parsley. The finish is long and pleasant, with shortbread biscuits, a touch of salt, lemon meringue pie and fresh cream.
In Short,
This Linkwood is perfect, admittedly not very original, but why would you want something original when you've got such a deluge of fruits? It's very good, it's what's needed, it's what people want when they buy a Linkwood. What's more, it's fairly priced, so I'd recommend buying it.
Score : 88
