G&M CC Linkwood 1984

A very dark, sherried looking Linkwood bottled at 58.1% after maturing 34 years in a First Fill Sherry Butt.
Producer’s Tasting Note
Aroma: rich sherry aromas mingle with juicy blackcurrant, blackberry, stewed cherries and plum. Hints of jasmine and rose petals add a distinctive edge.
Taste: indulgently sweet; butterscotch flavours infused with aniseed and cinnamon. Orange and raspberry notes, dusted with delicately drying cocoa powder, are complemented by nuances of oak.
Finish: lingering; dry tobacco and forest fruit fade in to subtle oak.
Signatory Caol Ila 2012 46%
$103.99
Distilled in June of 2012, this 10 year old Caol Ila was matured in Hogsheads before bottling at 46% in November of 2022. Non-chillfiltered with no added colour.
Ahhhhh...young Coal Ila! How we love 'em! The simple reality of peated whisky is that if you want it to be punchy and smoky, you have to drink it when it's still in its infancy. Peat is a volatile. It fades the longer it's left in the barrel. So, you want big smoke? Find young peated whisky, made from super clean distillate, and bottled at 46% or higher. This Signatory 10 year ticks all the boxes. Just two bourbon barrels went into this one, eliciting only a few hundred bottles for the world. And only a handful of those made it our way. This is one to move on before it disappears.

FILTHY HONEY
From Islay, this 8 year old comes in at 59.8% after maturing in a refill barrel
Flavour profile: Heavily peated
Outturn: 180 bottles
Panel's tasting note: "An intense honeyed sweetness made the initial introductions with burnt blackcurrants in hazelnut liqueur before we encountered scented wood smeared with tar and creosote. Traces of maritime brought the familiar fragrance of iodine and kelp with sea salt- saturated old rope. Peppered mackerel fused with smoked fish and charred driftwood as we took an interesting turn towards black olives with sugar coated fennel seeds, salted liquorice and cinnamon spice.
Complexity gained pace with strong earl grey tea leading towards blackcurrant cordial and the oily nature of a dirty old shipyard. Finishing with the woody crunch of charred twigs, the palate continued into rosemary with a hint of eucalyptus oil."

Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: round, creamy, creme brulee and creamed heather honey; clotted cream, melons, citrus and quince paste; firm smoke and sea salt.
Palate: round, fruity and maty with oily-earthy peats; pan seared scallop poached in butter with a balsemic reduction; juicy, loads of fruit, butter, cream and barley; loads og citrus on this one, and botanical gardens on a warm day.
Finish: malty, ashy and fruity; earthy with citrus and floral tones; coating with a lovely body.
Comment: lush with a lovely body;I so miss mature Ardbeg, we see it so seldom these days!
Producer Description: "Sweet and smoky, rich yet delicate, the classic contradictions of the distillery that make it so revered are ever-present in the latest Ar bottling."
Producer's Tasting Note
Nose: Sweet vanilla and white chocolate mix perfectly with wisps of woody smoke and iodine.
Palate: More white-chocolate cookies, sweet caramel and orchard fruit (baked pears and apples) sit alongside an intense nuttiness with classic bonfire smoke and charcoal reminding us of this whisky’s origin.
Finish: Pecan pie and smoked almonds.
92pts Whisky Fun
"Picture's a mockup. Ah, some good bourbon barrels, no clashes of the titans to be expected here, I suppose! Colour: gold. Nose: a really rather extraordinary combination of soft natural vanilla (ground pods) with the most beautifully zesty lemony/herbal/coastal peat. There are even drops of mezcal and Jamaican rum dancing around your olfactory bulb (what?) together with iodine and tiny ‘acidic’ herbs, lemongrass, oyster flowers, some kind of oriental camphory embrocations… Wow, really, wow! With water: there, tarmac, tyres, fisherman’s ropes, charcoal… Mouth (neat): punches you a bit right between your ears at first, with an admirable grittiness just like when you forgot to peel all of the skin off your grapefruit, and gets then rather luminously citrusy, salty, and of course ashy. Bigly ashy. With water: same-ish, which doesn’t mean that it does not benefit from reduction. Finish: very long, you just had the other ashtray, plus a whole glass of concentrated limejuice. Comments: they have not used very active vanilla-forward barrels, which is just great. Fantastic, almost explosive Ardbeg and, in a way, the exact opposite of Ar9. Remember when we were calling these ‘peat bombs’ SGP:458 - 92 points."
