(James Eadie) Linkwood 11 Year Old Richard Hogshead Linkwood 2013/2024 - 11 yo - Re-Charred Hogsheads #301827, 301830, 301834 - James Eadie

Linkwood 2013/2024 11 Year Old Re-Charred Hogsheads (James Eadie) offers a bright, easy-to-drink bourbon-like bottling, with the toasty notes typical of refill bourbon casks and the citrus and green apple notes characteristic of Linkwood. The casks are a vatting of three richer hogsheads (#301827, 301830, 301834), and are released under the "The Railway" series. Bottled at 46% alcohol with no artificial coloring, it's designed to retain character while remaining robust enough for everyday drinking.

Aroma (nose)
The nose is described as featuring bright fruit notes such as lime, green apple, and pear, layered with sweet notes of coconut, vanilla, caramel, and toffee. While the light toasty flavor and oak spice from the rich charcoal casks are in the background, the overall impression is fresh and clean.

Palette
The palate is medium, not too oily, and features juicy notes of lime, apple, pear, and citrus, with the sweetness of vanilla, toffee, and caramel. The sweet aromas of coconut and biscuits, accented with just the right amount of oak spice, make this a whiskey that enjoys "good bourbon cask linkwood" rather than sherry.

Finish and Drinkability: The finish is medium-length, with gentle notes of apple, citrus, caramel and a hint of spice.

At 46% alcohol, it's not too harsh and is easy to drink daily, either straight or with a little water, but those used to cask strength whiskeys may find it a little light.

This is a bottle that is not suitable for sherry, but for those who want to enjoy the floral and fruity characteristics of linkwood and the sweet aroma of rich bourbon casks. It is easy to drink as an aperitif, or when you want to enjoy a clean fruity flavor with seafood, salads, light appetizers, vanilla sweets, etc.
