This is an independent bottling from Elixir Distillers. Typically the bottlings in this series are made up of 4 to 8 casks .
This particular bottling is made up of 4 casks, aged 12 to 14 years old. I have no further details on the casks.
You can still buy the Linkwood 2007 12 YO Reserve Casks - Parcel No. 2 in the UK at around GBP 67.
Nose: Rich and aromatic. Waxy apples and apple wax. A light oakiness mixed with notes of lemon and orange. A tropical alibi in the shape of a pineapple. With time also pepper, red berries and soft acidity.
Taste: Rich and full bodied. Waxy and ripe apples. Honey, as well as white pepper and ginger.
Finish: Medium long finish. Caramel, maple syrup, honey and mild spiciness. It mellows out fairly quickly, and we are left with light sugary sweetness and orchard fruits.
Comment: This bottling series from Elixir Distillers is turning out quite nicely.
Score 86/100
