Raising Glasses – Ascendance – Linkwood Vol 2 – Aged 10 Years (700 mL)

We jumped at the chance to obtain a sherry butt of Linkwood single malt which we split into thirds:

Vol 1: Emergence – 9+ yr refill Oloroso butt maturation
Vol 2: Ascendance – 9 mo Oloroso quarter cask finish
Vol 3: Eminence – 9 mo First fill Madeira cask finish

The second in our Linkwood series, this ASCENDANCE edition was matured for 9+ yrs in a refill Oloroso sherry butt, then finished for 9 mo in an Oloroso sherry quarter cask, then bottled at cask strength. The double Oloroso maturation makes for a majestic dram of dark fruit, leather, bitter almonds and citrus-infused honey.
