Linkwood 11 yo 1989/2001 (59.2%, James MacArthur for The Way of Spirits).
Colour: straw.
Nose: unexpectedly similar at first nosing. Then more porridge, grains, flints, green bananas and warm yoghurt sauce. Slight yeastiness, then lemon juice and sorrel. With water: it’s plain and pure manzanilla. Or a mixture of manzanilla and palo cortado. It’s quite smoky too (lit cigar). Earth.
Mouth (neat): big, oily, lemony and then grassier and grassier. Truckloads of grapefruits and limes plus a very green spiciness and a lot of green pepper.
Finish: long but, well, bitter.
