Single Cask Nation 2009 Linkwood 12 Year Old

Single Cask Nation 2009 Linkwood 12 Year Old - Such fun! The Linkwood spirit takes to the port finishing like the proverbial duck to water. Bright, warm malt cereal from the spirit marries perfectly with red fruits and even a little tartness from the port cask. Don’t miss the dark chocolate! Share with friends and turn heads.

Tasting Notes:

Color: Summer sunset

Nose: First impression is of boozy cherries or kirsch but the second impression delivers a malty sweetness accompanied by warm hay, leather saddles, raisin bread, and sweet molasses

Palate: Leads with the fruit again (tart raspberries, macerated strawberries, even gooseberry jam) before the cereal retakes the limelight in the form of oak cakes, wholewheat crackers, and grape nuts, note the dark chocolate notes as it transitions into the finish

Finish: Decent length with lingering dark chocolate, red berries, and a hint of saltiness
