The Tasting Notes

The palate is a pleasing balance of orange liqueurs, dark chocolate and marzipan all rolled in a layer of oak and cinnamon.
More orange notes roll across the finish alongside apricots and clove.
Details
Linkwood Distillery, founded in 1821, is one of Speyside's hidden gems, the original Victorian buildings remain, despite expansion in the 1960s and '70s. Swans and ducks swim on the distillery waters, which provides cooling water for the condensers.
Spice and apricot jelly aromas tease on the nose before vanilla and nutmeg develop with time. The palate is a pleasing balance of orange liqueurs, dark chocolate and marzipan all rolled in a layer of oak and cinnamon. More orange notes roll across the finish alongside apricots and clove. This is a highly fulfilling dram so after a long Christmas day, have yourself a merry little Linkwood.
