Linkwood Berry Bros & Rudd Small Batch Single Malt Scotch Whisky 10 Year Old · 2013 Vintage
In stock
Linkwood Distillery, founded in 1821, is one of the Speyside’s hidden gems. The original Victorian buildings remain, despite expansion in the 1960s and ‘70s. Swans and ducks swim on the distillery waters, which provides cooling water for the condensers.
Tasting Notes:
This is an excellent example of Bourbon cask matured Speyside. Aromas of warm Victoria sponge, buttery coconut and fudge lure you into the glass. The palate follows the theme with spiced vanilla yoghurt, aniseed, and toasted oak before lighter stewed apple and pear come to the fore. Spice shows through on the finish alongside a lick of vanilla iced tea.
