Fraser Steen –
A well-judged Linkwood. Apple and vanilla lead on the nose, with fresh grass and damp earth bringing a welcome savoury depth to the familiar orchard-fruit character.
Sweet, fruity toffee on the palate gives way to burnt pineapple, and the sweetness holds well. The tequila cask is most apparent in the recurring grassy note, which carries through the long finish with a faint bitter edge.
At 55.6%, the alcohol gives the finish momentum while the whisky stays composed. The cask brings tropical fruit, grass and a touch of bitterness to Linkwood’s soft, fruity spirit, giving it a more distinctive shape.
