Lovely weight and carries its age well (though dies a bit quickly in the glass).

Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Intense: grassy/sappy with greengage, hazelnut and sesame oil/olive oil? It has good weight though.

Palate: Full, spicy, slightly smoky palate. It's a whisky you feel as much as taste or nose.

Finish: Clover and nut.

Comment: Lovely weight and carries its age well (though dies a bit quickly in the glass).

Score: 7.5

Taster

Nose: Hugely powerful. Linseed. Leather.

Palate: Big. Grassy. Sweet lemons.

Finish: Syrupy. Anis. Medicinal. Hot.

Comment: Very pungent and powerful for a Lowlander. Tending toward harshness. This seems typical of these last Linlithgows.

Score: 7.5
