Linkwood 2010 12YO Cask #309267, Single Cask Nation

Founded in 2011 by Joshua Hatton (an American) and Jason Johnstone-Yellin (a Scot), Single Cask Nation is the United States' only independent bottler following the Scottish tradition. Each cask selected is bottled at natural cask strength, free from chill filtering and artificial colour, with the distillery source front and center. While the SCN reputation was established with exquisite Scotch selections we also bottle American bourbon, rye, single malt, rum, mezcal, and light whisky (aka American grain whisky).

Tasting notes:
Colour: Reddish Amber

Nose: A bright salinity greets the nose and mixes with freshly cut grass drying in the sunshine, sweet malted barley, orange marmalade, cardamom, and gentle cinnamon.

Palate: Great heft with fresh pipe tobacco, damp soil, more malted barley, more orange marmalade, then pleasing pepper as it transitions towards the finish.

Finish: Lingering orange marmalade with echoes of gentle cinnamon, soft pepper, and dark chocolate.
