DS Tayman 12 Year Old Linkwood Scotch Whisky

This is an independent bottling of single malt Scotch whisky from the Linkwood Distillery in Speyside, selected and bottled by DS Tayman. As an independent bottler, DS Tayman seeks out unique casks, and this 12-year-old expression has been matured for 12 years and finished in a Galil Mountain wine barrel, a Kosher red wine from Israel. This finishing period is intended to impart additional character from the wine. The bottling is typically at 46% ABV, non-chill filtered, and with natural color.   

Tasting Notes (based on various sources):

• Nose: Expect a fragrant nose with notes of rosehip and fresh berries, often alongside red berries, baked apple, and subtle savory hints of charred oak. Some describe grapes, raisins, and orange peels, with earthy musty scents of a wine cellar and a touch of chalk.   
• Palate: The palate is often described as having a soft, gentle sweetness with a slightly oily or silky texture. You might find flavors of creamy vanilla, sherbet, and sweet red berries, along with maple syrup, black pepper, and cardamom. Some detect ripe gooseberries evolving towards light leather and baked cashews.   
• Finish: The finish is generally long and spicy, with a lingering oily or fatty feeling and sweeter notes of warmed honey and sweet raisins. Some find a pinch of black pepper on strawberries and a long, spicy finish.   

Overall Impression: The DS Tayman 12 Year Old Linkwood offers an intriguing departure from standard Linkwood expressions thanks to its finishing in a Galil Mountain wine barrel. The tasting notes suggest a delightful interplay between the classic Speyside fruitiness of Linkwood and the added complexity of red fruit, subtle spice, and a hint of wine influence. As an independent bottling focused on unique cask finishes, this Linkwood is likely a rewarding experience for those looking to explore the nuanced flavors that different cask types can impart to single malt Scotch. The Kosher certification of the wine cask also adds a unique element to this whisky.
