LINKWOOD 14 YO 2009 SHERRY FINISH PX WILSON & MORGAN 70CL 50,5%
€ 99,00 VAT includedAdd to cartLinkwood rich and winey, but still very balanced in marrying the influence of the 16 months finish in first fill Pedro Ximenez. At the nose it’s quite markedly winey, with huge notes of sherry. Actually rather dry and nutty, which is surprising considering the sweetness of Pedro Ximenez! Of course there are also raisins, orange rinds, dried plums: the fruitiness balances the wine. At the palate, it shows a multifaceted style: the initial slightly tannic attack is soon followed by orange juice, vermouth, dried dates and raisins. It alternately dances between fruitier/sweeter and drier/spicier, and the addition of water can make the balance momentarily shift each way. The finale if very spicy, warm, and slightly astringent.

LINKWOOD 2014 SHERRY FINISH OLOROSO WILSON & MORGAN 70CL 48%
€ 63,00 VAT includedAdd to cartSunny, light-bodied, malty and very fragrant at the nose: it’s a flowery and fresh expression of Speyside that calls for springtime! But the finish in first fill Oloroso for 2 years gives it a twist at the palate, where it gains robustness and spice. It still remains light/medium bodied, fresh and agile, mineral and clean, with notes of orange juice and peel, peaches and apricots, but it starts to become peppery. With every sip, the spicy side begins to dominate, especially after a few seconds and in the aftertaste: no sweetness, it becomes dry, tight, even a bit astringent.
