Linkwood Prima & Ultima Second Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky 39 Year Old · 1981 Vintage
Out of stock
Part of the first pioneering trial exploring different maturation processes at the distillery, this triple-rare expression gives it an incredible depth. The rich flavours and aromas of a PX/Oloroso-seasoned cask are deeply integrated with the creamy texture and spicy, toasted characters brought by the new American Oak.
The Prima & Ultima 2nd Release has been personally hand-selected by Master of Malts Maureen Robinson; “This lovely Linkwood comes from a special small batch matured for twelve years in refill casks, then set aside to double mature for more than a quarter of a century in four casks of new Pedro Ximenez/Oloroso seasoned American Oak. As you might imagine, we have very little of it. With its long, sweet-spicy and warming finish leaving a lingering hint of chocolate, this is truly a unique whisky"

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-gilded highlights and a warm mahogany glow.
Nose
Profoundly rich, the nose offers notes of dark, moist Christmas cake, mince pies and crystalised orange peel, backed by polished oak.
Palate
Silky, creamy texture with an intensely fruity sweetness and rich notes of ripe plum. The sweetness persists across the palate, while the second maturation lends a subtle oaky dryness. A splash of water heightens the sweet, creamy finish.
Finish
A long, sweet-spicy warmth that lingers, ending with a delicate chocolate echo.
