Gordon & MacPhail Distillery Labels Series Linkwood 25
Country: Scotland
Region: Speyside
Type: Single Malt
Bottler: Gordon & MacPhail
ABV: 43%
Score: 95 Points
Linkwood is one of those classic Speyside distilleries that deserves more credit for its whisky, which usually winds up in blends. The nose on this Gordon & MacPhail bottling has notes of toffee, figs, honey, plums, and raisins…well-rounded and complex. The taste is full of Christmas cake, along with toffee, gentle spices, and a touch of molasses cookies. The finish is long with lingering hints of dark fruits and a subtle hint of dry spices. Excellent! (March, 2020)
