Nose: Faint, slightly medicinal, sweaty feat, earth, slightly stale.
Flavour: Bitter, some pepper, a hint of sal ammoniac, a lot of solerna sherry. Has a sour rancid finish.
Body: Slightly dry, fatty, granular.
Comments: The sherry is so dominant it makes you wonder how it compares to pure glass of sherry. Needless to say this one's unlike any other Linkwood I've tasted.
