Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Extremely fragrant, floral, rose-like.
Palate
Angelica. Indian desserts. Condensed milk.
Finish
Balancing almondy dryness. Spicy, becoming quite hot. Extraordinarily long.
Comment
Linkwood always evokes thoughts of sweetmeats. This one seems a particularly sweet interpetation.

Dave Broom

Nose
Lifted, intense and perfumed: jasmine/muscat grapes, cut grass and apple blossom with hints of crisp malt.
Palate
A light aromatic mouthful with a silky quality that keeps it rooted in the mouth. Even a hint of pepper.
Finish
Perfumed.
Comment
Malts which waft delicately about are deeply unfashionable in these blockbuster times but this is the perfect aperitif.
