Tasting Notes

Nose: The fruity sweetness of forest fruit compote, old port wine and black cherries is followed by subtle milk chocolate.

Description

In the tenth anniversary year of his brand, the whisky druid is once again showing what he knows about cask magic with two new bottlings. The independent bottler selects his best drams personally and on site in Scotland's whisky regions, bottles them neither chill-filtered nor colored, and always at cask strength as single casks.

The Linkwood 2013/2024 is a particularly creamy, sweet representative of Speyside. A decade in first fill Ruby Port Barrique increased the fruity characteristics of the light single malt to lush notes of black cherries and forest fruit compote.
