Linkwood 12 Flora & Fauna Series Single Malt. Photo ©2015 by Mark Gillespie.This is the only official distillery bottling of Linkwood available, and the nose is herbal with hints of juniper and pine needles, along with straw, butterscotch, and raw almonds. The taste is thick, oily, and malty with notes of pine, juniper, honey, straw, almonds, and butterscotch. The finish is very long, light, and dry with pine and honey notes. Hard to find, but worth seeking out. (June, 2015)
