Score 85/100 · Serge Valentin, WhiskyFun.com

I think these ‘licensed’ bottlings by G&M should never be overlooked, not only because they’re usually very fairly priced. <strong>Colour</strong>: gold. <strong>Nose</strong>: ah yes, triple yes! Wonderful floral and honeyed nose, a tad light but perfect as far as balance is concerned. I can’t help thinking of some official Glenrothes here. So honey, a little vanilla, roses, malt, whiffs of ‘old books in the basement’, liquorice wood… Very nice. <strong>Mouth</strong>: impeccable profile and good body, feeling more like 46 rather than 43%. Café latte, honey pie (you are making me crazy), black tea and just drops of mint liqueur. <strong>Finish</strong>: medium long, maltier and just a tad drier, sourer and leafier.

About the producer

Ben-Rinnes-Morey-Scotland
Linkwood

Linkwood needs little introduction to whisky lovers but is slightly less well known to the masses. The historic distillery, in the heart of Speyside, produces some remarkable single malts and is one of the main constituents in Johnnie Walker and White Horse Blends.
