Linkwood 1991 Côte Rôtie - Private Collection (Gordon & MacPhail)
An unusual Linkwood from Gordon and MacPhail's Private Collection. This was distilled in 1991 and it was aged for twenty years. Its maturation began in bourbon casks, and it was finished in Cote Rotie red wine casks for 30 months! A very curious whisky with loads of character.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Grape-like on the nose, with blackcurrant jam, oak, pine resin and a little earthiness. Hints of lavender, plum wine and a little malt.
Palate
Quite herbaceous on the tongue, with notes of cut hay, forest floor, pine needles, chamomile tea and something farmyard-like. A hint of spice and bitterness develops.
Finish
Decent length with gingernuts, burnt rubber, hints of pepper and honey.
