Linkwood 2008 11 Year Un-chillfiltered Collection (Signatory)

Not every day you get to taste a linkwood. UCF - check. 46% - check. It’s a bit thin, oily and has a green apple/unripe light fruits vibe. Sweet honey akin to Meade. Short finish but licorice is present. It’s light and refreshing but not exceptional. I’d drink it again if offered but probably won’t buy it again.

Nose: 3,75* Medicinal alcohol, earthy notes, ripe strawberries, moist wood, young cheese. Palate: 3* Subtle, alcohol, mint leaves, other herbal notes. Finish: 3,25* Short, peppery, fresh.

Vanilla cream nose. Sweetened biscuits. Pears and lager yeast. Zingy citrus. Delicate feel.
