Nose

Pear drop. Sherry notes (fruit cake and chocolate). Oxtail consommé, toffee, beeswax. Slightly sulphury. Hides its complexity.

Palate

Sherry. Sour apple and orange peel with a balsamic touch (eucalyptus). Dry and oaky.

Finish

Oaky, coffee beans, bitter chocolate.

Comment

Hard to find Linkwood delicacy and elegance in this version. Probably not from outstanding sherry casks.
