Linkwood 2016 Special Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky 37 Year Old · 1978 Vintage
In stock
A welcome return to the list of Annual Diageo releases in 2016 after 8 years away and the oldest official Linkwood released to date.
Distilled in 1978 and aged in refill European oak butts and refill American Hogsheads with only 6114 bottles available.
The age is deceptive here, very clean & elegant Linkwood and for me one of the real lesser known gems of the Speyside region, stylish and classy malt and showing well for its age.
