Single Malts of Scotland Linkwood 14 year old (Distilled in 2009), 55.8%

Price: 120 Issue: Fall 2024 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Single Malt Scotch

A charming nose of vanilla sponge, apple blossom, hay, white pepper, green apple, and lemon mousse with a hint of peach captures the best of Linkwood’s classic profile. The texture is glossy and glides across the tongue with flavors of lemon shortbread, sesame oil, white chocolate, clove, vanilla, and butter scotch. Water brings out its fruitier side, showcasing the lemon and green apple notes in particular.
