Firkin Ten: Linkwood 2011 Custom Cask Madeira Tasting notes:
They say quality counts, and this dram has my number! This is a seriously sensational whisky. The elegance of Linkwood, one of Speyside’s finest, marries perfectly with the glorious earthy oak and Madeira richness and raisin spice. Brilliantly rich and fruity notes complement the hint of toasty oak with exceptional balance. This dram lingers like a summer lover, complete with a lovely tingle of spicy oak. Simply Firkin delectable.
- Nose: Gentle and welcoming. Soft peach skins ripened in the sun on the oak kitchen table. Hazelnuts and peanuts—natural, not salted. A touch of sweetness from vanilla fudge.
- Palate: Medium to full mouthfeel. Fruit and nut milk chocolate, with raisins and more hazelnuts. Sticky figs and ripe plums. A touch of spice adds gentle warmth.
- Finish: Medium to long finish. The fruit and nut chocolate continues. The spice lingers, leaving one’s palate ready for another dram
