Linkwood 1995 #8088-Connoisseurs Choice (54.5% abv)

Passion for single malt Scotch whisky has been at the heart of our family business for four generations. This range is an ever-changing collection of unique perspectives on distilleries’ own bottlings, non-chill-filtered single cask and small batch expressions bottled at cask strength — exceptional one-offs.

Colour: Amber

Nose: Sweet vanilla fudge combines with cinnamon and ginger spice. Rich forest fruits give way to orange peel and mature oak.

Taste: Ripe blackcurrant complements stewed plums and a hint of black pepper. Morello cherry comes to the fore alongside subtle garden mint and mixed nuts.

Finish: Medium-bodied with lingering citrus zest and strawberry.
