Linkwood 15 Year Distillery Labels (Gordon & MacPhail)

Fragrant sherry cask influence on the nose. Raisins, Christmas cake, all the good things. Brown sugar on the pallet, not as full bodied as one might hope, but still oily around the cheeks. It’s got a slightly off putting sour note on the taste blending into the finish, but it also gives a modest continuing white pepper finish with very pleasant bitter tannins. The nose is the best part of this malt, but give it time to open up, and the pallet will improve.

Soepel, nootig

My second gordon & macphail dram, a linkwood 15yo, better than what i expected, and after having two Gordon &MacPhail drams, i start to think this is a great independent bottler. On the nose: Ginger Cinammon Spicy on the nose Fresh forest Lemon Ultra spicy on the nose, the most spicy dram ever Chocolate On the palate: Very sweet at first, Chocolate toffee; then a oaky sensation, finally a spicy english sauce sensation. Wonderfully changing with every sip, full of layers. Finish long ginger spice and pepper. delicious. very balanced. A 91 over 100 is a solid score for this baby. Slainte!

Light and sweet without much of a burn. There’s a slight grain note I’m picking up...
