How about this then? I bought this a couple of years ago, and these days it seems a bit of an unlikely young age for a whisky from Linlithgow Distillery. It comes from a refill butt, which makes me think of european oak. The color is light golden. It smells honey, minty, onions, vanilla, ash, greengages, leather, grassy. The taste is sweet, buttery, dry white wine, ashes, burnt, oaky, wood zest, oranges, sweet and powerful. Kinda strangely floral. This one needs some water, or at least I believe so. Now it turns more nutty, oily, buttery, quite a bit spirity. I can't quite understand why this whisky is so sought-after, but it seems to have some old-style lowland character going on.
Light, spirity, buttery St. Magdalene: 6
Next Tasting: Macduff Distillery
