Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Roses. Floral. Creamy.
Palate
Creamy, soft. Treacle tart. Flapjack. Fruity. (cherries?). Slightly spicy (ginger?).
Finish
Lemony. Lively.
Comment
Linkwood always evokes thoughts of sweetmeats, sometimes delicate, on other occasions more robust. This is in the latter mood: down-to-earth sweetness.

Dave Broom

Nose
Straw/gold. Once water has been added, a fragrant aroma emerges-freesia, cherry, iced gems, rose petals, pears in syrup behind.
Palate
Round, silky mouthfeel. The high alcohol propels it across the palate with fragrant floral flavours, light oak and sweet fruit all playing off each other.
Finish
Syrupy and sweet.
Comment
Tremendous stuff-with lots of water
