Linkwood 1997 SV Cask# 4239

Remarks:
very tasty malt with an interesting light sulfur note. However, the sherry ripening predominates and beautiful sherry notes develop. Very tasty.

Overall I rate this Whisky 88/100 points

• Nose: 88/100 points
  first of all there is a slight smell of burned sticks which quickly dissipates. Then there are notes of sherry, dried fruits, plums, raisins, slightly sweet, later there are some spicy oak notes, the alcohol is quite well integrated and not intrusive. Slightly citrus fruit at the end
  
  
• Taste: 88/100 points
  Again the burned matches, but then quite quickly, intense sherry and dried fruits, very spicy to hot, oak. Here the alcohol burns a bit on the tongue. Slightly nutty and malty, also a bit sweet
  
  
• Finish: 88/100 points
  here again the light sulfur, then a lot of dried fruits, nutty, malty. Then spicy oak aromas and warming. Quite long.
