A gentle and approachable Speyside malt. Linkwood LINKWOOD 15yo GM Distillery Labels 40% 90s Circulation The aroma carries a mild old-aged character, with notes of orange and a faint waxiness, alongside a touch of botanicals and a soft cereal sweetness. On the palate, it offers a smooth mouthfeel with hints of orange, a delicate honeyed sweetness, and a refined cereal flavor that lingers with a smooth, though not overly long, finish. [Good/Very Good] This Linkwood 15 Year was bottled by GM in the 90s, with a 40% ABV dilution. Slightly waxy characteristics are reminiscent of this Linkwood's style, but overall it presents as a gentle Speyside malt with a balanced old-aged character. While not complex, its approachable and polished profile makes it an excellent sipper, though slightly understated in depth.
