Linkwood 1987 Signatory Vintage 16 years 43% (refill sherry butt)
Shame about that ABV, but Linkwood is Linkwood.
Colour Straw. Quite light.
Nose Floral and creamy malt. Honey and crispy caramel. A bit of peppermint and menthol. Apricots and peaches. Tart apples. Cereal.
Palate Really quite creamy, malty. Floral and a little bit astringent, oak. Eucalyptus. Oak spices. Quite fresh, pineapples? Berry jams. Oily mouthfeel.
Finish Peppermint and cream. White chocolate. Apricot delight. Quite malty, floral.
Comments Classic Linkwood floral profile. A little bit okay, otherwise quite conventional. Cask is pretty dead. 83/100.
