Linkwood 12 Year Old DS Tayman Syrah Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky

DS Tayman is the product of many years’ knowledge, thought and development. With nearly two decades in the alcohol industry, Director of Malts Danny Saltman was keen to bring something new to the market. Driven to develop an exceptional collection of whiskies, Danny has travelled the length of Scotland to match choice Scotch Whiskies with hand-chosen casks.

As DS Tayman only bottles malt whisky aged in single casks, you can be assured that each limited-edition expression has a unique taste profile that cannot be recreated.

Linkwood distillery, owned by Diageo and found in the Speyside region of Scotland is firmly in the 'lighter' style of malt. After decent maturation though this lightness is met with fantastic mouthfeel and texture, that makes Linkwood a distillery well sought after by malt whisky fans. 

This single malt whisky was distilled in November 2009 at the Linkwood distillery before being placed in a single virgin oak barrel and left to mature for much of it's 12 year maturation period, with a Finish in a single ex-red wine Syrah cask sourced from the Israeli Tulip winery. In January 2022 it was bottled at 46% ABV as part of the 4th Edition releases from DS Tayman. Only 299 bottles were produced.

Nose: "Toffee and chocolate mingled with rich fruits, red apple skins, oak spice, and a hint of nutmeg."

Palate: "Silky smooth and rounded.  Rich caramel coupled with stewed fruits and orange zest."

Finish: "A long malt-driven finish with hints of honeydew sweetness."
