Description

The Linkwood distillery first produced its light, 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 for 10 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead before being finished for a further 2 years in a new red wine cask from the venerable Château Lafite appellation. Warm aromas of spice with a touch of joss and orange zest rise into the nose before being further carried on the palate by black tea, ripe figs and red berries. The finish draws to a close in a finale marked by the delicate aroma of smoked almonds. This is an exclusive bottling for Baur au Lac Vins in collaboration with The Whisky Cellar.
