Linkwood Spirit of Art 10 Year Old, Sherry Hogshead Cask, Cask #310724, 2009, Spirit of Art (The Distillers' Art), 59.2%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

87 / 100

The appeal here is the contrast between sweet honey and the fresh, green meadow and grassy notes. Fruity and lightly floral character adds a softer edge, while the long, dry, fresh finish keeps it from reading as simply sweet. That mix sounds approachable to me, with enough texture and a clear change of direction through the finish to keep it interesting. The notes give a fairly coherent picture without suggesting a heavy or complicated style.
