Tasting Notes
Linkwood 1997 27 year old Signatory Vintage Symington's Choice
Tasting Notes:
Nose: A delicate bouquet of orchard fruits—think ripe apples and pears—mingles with fragrant floral notes and a touch of vanilla. Subtle hints of honey and toasted oak add complexity.
Palate: Silky smooth, with layers of green apples, fresh citrus, and soft vanilla cream. The long maturation brings out gentle spices, light oak, and a whisper of malt sweetness, beautifully balanced by the natural cask strength.
Finish: Elegant and lingering, with soft fruit notes and a warming spice that gradually fades, leaving a clean, satisfying finish.
