Linkwood 1990

17 year old Speyside 48.0 % vol

1 of only 204 bottles from cask no. 9734

Another top class malt from this Top Class Speyside distillery just outside Elgin.
Rich gold, with almost no beading.
Immediately you are standing in a maturation warehouse, with an added nose of Russian Fudge, soft toffee, marzipan, prunes, apple Tarte-Tatin. This soon becomes coconut, sugared almonds and Bakewell Tart. Overall, soft and sweet with violets and Turkish Delight. With water, a hint of rosewater also comes through.
On the palate, a light oiliness, sweet, then drying with caramelized yellow fruits on top of a tart and lingering persimmon.
The perfect tea-time dram
