Linkwood distillery, a relatively unknown powerhouse in the world of Single Malt Whisky. Founded in 1821 by Peter Brown, but only went into production four years later. Actually, this distillery has been producing under the radar for a lot of blended whiskies for about 200 years. The vast majority of production is used for Johnnie Walker and White Horse, blended whiskies with a large fan base.
This Linkwood was distilled in 2012 and bottled early this year at 46% alcohol. Two First Fill Oloroso Sherry Butts were used to give this whisky a post-ripening. This also gives this Single Malt its firm character. Linkwood is already among the mild yet powerful Speyside distilleries and the finish on these Oloroso Sherry casks further enhances this.
Tasting note:
Colour: Amber
Nose: Old-fashioned sherry-aged Linkwood. Think chestnut purée, figs, peanut butter, metallic polish, dark nougat. Turkish delight.
Flavour: Real Old-skool full flavour. Tobacco leaves, smoked paprika, peppers, walnuts and some copper polish.
Finish: Something more usual for cognac, but a hint of rancio I think I can detect, alongside the malaga wine and fig/nut bread
