This Linkwood is a vatting of 2 ex-Bourbon hogsheads, distilled 1997 and bottled in 2018 for a run of 498 bottles.
The bottle tasting notes are:
Nose: Lemon curd followed by strawberry jam and apple pie.
Palate: black peppercorn, cinnamon sticks, and butterscotch
Finish: More cinnamon with coriander and toasted white bread- Color: old gold (0.6)
- Nose: sharp lemonade, grape must, gunpowder, limberger
- Taste: danish biscuits, burnt sugar, berries, oak

This is pleasant, uncomplicated slightly-oaked Linkwood which at this price point is compelling. Pretty much the classic bourbon barrel experience.
