Linkwood Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 12y 2010
Speyside, The Whisky Cellar, 750 ml
| Producer: | The Whisky Cellar |
| Origin: | United Kingdom / Highland-Speyside |
Description
The Linkwood distillery first produced its fruity and fresh Speyside single malt back in 1824. The distillery's typical fruity aroma is achieved through the generation of an ultra-clear piquancy and slow distillation in copper alambiques. This whisky was matured in Hungarian Tokaji Aszu sweet wine casks and the opulent, sweet fruit notes as well as the matured oak tones unite this single malt to a tropical fruit bomb. On the nose, wonderful scent of ripe apricots and manuka honey. On the palate, bulky and creamy caramel with ginger spice and oranges and golden sultanas. This is an exclusive bottling for Baur au Lac Vins in collaboration with The Whisky Cellar.

Highland-Speyside
Speyside: Das Herz der Whisky-Kultur
Geografisch gesehen ist die Speyside ein kleiner, nordöstlich gelegener Teilbereich der Highlands. Doch das Hügelland zwischen den Städten Inverness und Aberdeen, durch welches das Flüsschen Spy fliesst, das der Region ihren Namen gibt, ist das Herz und der Nabel der schottischen Whisky-Herstellung und Single Malt-Kultur. Nicht weniger als 50 der insgesamt 108 schottischen Destillerien sind hier beheimatet. Die Speyside-Malts bestechen mit ihrer Komplexität und Eleganz.
