Simon tastest the Carn Mor Strictly Limited Linkwood 2011 8 year old
We have been lovers of Linkwood Scotch Whisky for a long time here at Select Scotch Whisky. Linkwood distillery is located in the northern parts of the Speyside region, and is known for producing light and fruit whisky while maintaining a good oiliness (in the non-chill filtered versions at least).Â

A taste of Old Particular Benrinnes 15 Year Old (2004) Scotch Whisky
The nose has a slight autumnal damp forest floor nature, with touches of yellow flesh plums and a rich herbaceousness with a backbone of clean crisp malt. The malt hits first on the palate, and as you hold the whisky in your mouth the smooth gentle weight from the alcohol builds nicely with a lovely sugar and spice character. The label mentions 'sugary coffee' which is certainly true for me atleast.
