Linkwood Gordon & MacPhail Single Malt Scotch Whisky 40 Year Old · 1973 Vintage

Colour

Luxurious deep golden amber with a warm coppery glow and a hint of mahogany.

Nose

Elegant and hushed, the nose unfurls with orchard fruit, lemon zest and honeyed malt, supported by vanilla and toasted oak. A refined, sherry-tinged depth emerges—dried fruit, almond and soft spice—yielding a waxy, age-softened bouquet with quiet, timeless elegance.

Palate

Silky and poised, the palate opens with orchard pear and peach, honeyed sweetness and vanilla bean. Sherry influence lingers, delivering dried fig, almond and a cocoa whisper, underpinned by gentle spice and polished oak. Long, refined finish with creamy warmth and a nutty, evocative afterglow.

Finish

Long, elegant finish with polished oak and sherry-rich fruit. Dried fig, date and cocoa drift across the palate, while citrus zest and vanilla weave through gentle spice—nutmeg and clove—before a dry, nutty almond fade lingers, leaving a refined, warming echo that invites the next sip.
