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!
