I've had the older 43% version of this and you're right, it isn't mind blowing, but the price is fair. The Distillery Labels Mortlach 15 is another solid pour I would reccomend from G&M. Cheers Rob, great review!
Ty for the shout out and review. It’s pretty cool! 😁 We have few different bottles from linkwood all ex bourbon casks. Nice pours and does well for a base when messing with blends. Want to find a cherry cask bottling now tho! 😁🙌🏻
Sounds like everyone has different notes on Linkwood. The bottle that I had 3-4 years ago had lots of green apple, lemon peel, honey, with some cocoa powder and wood spice. Less texture than you'd expect from a 15 year. Kind of an interesting combination of flavors, not bad for $80 USD. But probably not one that I'd buy again.
At CAD $125, approx US$90, that's a great buy for the age and value. i would describe it completely differently - more of like Edradour Caledonian (12) with more age and a bit sweeter. Is is not the totally dry and sulfuric sherry type. I think a side by side would really show how it compares if you got an Aberlour, a Glengoyne and a GlenAllechie to compare with. Then you really see who stands up and who sure doesn't.
Seen this one...appreciate the thoughts. Have a CarnMor Linkwood 11y I need to crack into. Also the G&M Distillery Label Ardmore 20 (2000 vintage) is sick. Look for sale though
Fair price for a fairly decent whisky. Nothing earth shattering, just honest malt. Thanks for the review man 🥃
Cheers bud

Cheers my friend
just finished this self-same bottle, enjoyed it very much. Not quite as good as their 15yo Mortlach though...

Got the G&M 25 year old which is apparently lovely. Will open when my bottle queue dies down!
Tasting notes are like : Light chocolate, if there is any chocolate there. Truly groundbreaking stuff! :)
Lol
Good days and bad days. 😅
@@WhiskyInThe6 you got it :)))))
Not exceptional at all but nicely made. This is a nice pour once in awhile! Great review Rob! Awesome price! Cheers! 🙂

I realize this is off-topic, but when’s the review for Springbank 13 Local Barley 😂?
Jeremy and I need to get together
Enjoy G&M while you can Teach, next year onwards G&M will be harder to come by and prices will zoom up . . . sadly.
True
