Linkwood Auld Goonsy 12 Year Old, American Oak Hogshead Cask, 2020, Global Whisky Limited, 54.1%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

87 / 100

The fruit-led character is the main draw: sour apple sweets and lemon drops lead into juicy green fruit, with oak and banana split adding a richer turn. Plum tart, vanilla and green tea give the finish a different direction rather than simply extending the sweeter notes. It sounds engaging without relying on a single flavour, though the range of descriptors makes it less of a straightforward, one-note dram.
