Country: Scotland

Region: Speyside

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 54.9%

Score: 95 Points

This Linkwood single malt was bottled in 2004, yet remains vibrant after 30 years in the cask. The nose has notes of honey, caramel, butterscotch, and a hint of citrus fruits. The taste is thick and oily with touches of citrus, grapefruit, butterscotch, and a hint of anise. The finish is long, dry, and mouth-coating with dry spices and a hint of citrus. Excellent!
