Linkwood 1954 56 Year Old Gordon & Macphail Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 700ML Tasting Notes
Nose: A delightfully complex spicy and perfumed nose.
Palate: There is a much greater presence of peat in the taste than the nose suggests. The smokiness quickly hits the palate and then tapers off.
Finish: Quite rich and lovely smooth texture.
