Tasting Notes
Linkwood 1984 | Connoisseurs Choice Producer Notes
Aroma: Rich Sherry aromas mingle with juicy blackcurrant, blackberry, stewed cherries, and plum. Hints of jasmine and rose petals add a distinctive floral edge. Taste: Indulgently sweet; butterscotch flavours infuse with aniseed and cinnamon. Orange and raspberry notes, dusted with delicately drying cocoa powder, are complemented by nuances of oak. Finish: Lingering; dry tobacco and forest fruit fade into subtle oak.
