Linkwood 1987/2011 Malts of Scotland

February 2, 2015

This Linkwood is fairly light in character but nonetheless has quite an intense palate. The fruity flavours dominate, spices are in the background. This is bourbon refill as it should be – Rating: 87/100

The flavours are very dense and compact here which makes it hard to single out specific ones. It is a lovely whisky, but it needs time to open up. – Rating: 87/100

A very fine dram where the sherry is well present but does not overwhelm the spirit. – Rating: 85/100

A quite unusual but also very pleasant whisky and most likely without nicotine. – Rating: 87/100

Very strong wood and light sulphur make this not a dram for anyone. Was this a finish to save a bad cask? – Rating: 78/100

Despite the very rich flavours, this malt has a delightful lightness often found in Linkwood. Be careful with water. Sublime. – Rating: 89/100

Linkwood 1984/2012 Adelphi

May 12, 2012

Quite a nice dram with an intriguing nose and a well-balanced palate. The pricing is adequate for its age but there are better deals out there. – Rating: 84/100

March 3, 2012

A thoroughly enjoyable dram, rather light-bodied. It has a nice freshness but you can still feel it’s not a youngster. – Rating: 84/100

This is a very fine sherried malt with a gorgeous nose. The palate is just a touch too much on the sweet side to be truly outstanding. – Rating: 86/100

Linkwood 1975/2001 Rare Malts

January 3, 2010

There seems to something missing here. Timid nose with and without water, rather incomplex palate for a 26yo. But perhaps it was just the sample I received. – Score: 73/100

Quite a complex dram, at first I was’nt too impressed. But I like it more and more. – Score: 83/100

I usually like Linkwood, but this one is a true underachiever. Terribly sweet and not much else. – Score: 60/100
