Linkwood 2009 BBR Batch #1

Linkwood is generally archetypal of the lighter side of Speyside, and this refill hogshead is no exception. The nose is incredibly gentle, offering aromas of peach, banana and melon with a little toasted oak from the cask. This subtle theme continues on the palate; notes of fresh fruit salad and a slight citrusy tanginess create a wonderful interplay with the whisky’s delicate texture. A whiff of smoke emerges on the finish, before waves of baking spice and oak roll in.
