ABV: 44.5%
A fourth entry-level NAS malt under Murray McDavid's 'Cask Craft' label is a typically textural Linkwood, judiciously sweetened by a Madeira finish. On the nose and palate there are suggestions of apples and pears, a faint waxiness and a lingering fruit cake quality rounded off by a warming finish. Fruity, uncomplicated and a little sweet with nice body and mouthfeel. 44.5% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... Nose: Soft, dried fruit. Leather combined with hints of almonds and wellies. Caramel pudding. Taste: Medium to full body. Delicate note of almonds. Sugary sweet. Tropical fruits and dried fruits in a merry combination. Finish: Medium long finish. More of the same, albeit a little darker now. Sweet all the way. 85 points - whiskysaga.com
