Linkwood 14YO 2008 (SMOS) Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml (ABV 55.8%)

Elixir Distillers is an independent bottler that released The Single Malts of Scotland range in 2002. This range consists of vintage single malt Scotch whiskies selected for their individual quality and character. Along with the classic single cask collection, the range includes the Director's Special series personally selected by Sukhinder Singh, as well as two small-batch collections: the accessible Reserve Casks and the more mature Marriage of Casks.

This single malt was distilled at Linkwood distillery in 2008 and aged for more than 14 years in a single hogshead, yielding a total of 124 bottles.

Nose - As the sun sets over the garden, the blossom on a honeysuckle bush starts to release its heady aroma into the air, mingling with the scent of freshly cut grass. Enjoying this calm, we sip on a glass of chilled apple soda, garnished with a slice of lemon.

Palate - The palate is bright and fruity - notes of peach and pear mingle together with apple and passion fruit. French apple tarts, glazed with apricot jam and the delicate flavours of soft honeyed nectarine round it all off.

Finish - The finish has a slightly green, grassy note that develops over fruit at the end.
