Linkwood Rare Malts Selection Single Malt Scotch Whisky 26 Year Old · 1975 Vintage
Out of stock
A Linkwood single malt released as part of the Rare Malts Selection, this 26 year old was distilled in 1975 and bottled in 2001 at a natural cask strength of 56.1% ABV after maturation in oak.
The Rare Malts series was designed to present distilleries in a more powerful, unfiltered style than standard bottlings, often revealing a fuller expression of the spirit. Long maturation suits Linkwood’s elegant Speyside character, where floral notes, orchard fruit and gentle malt sweetness are supported by soft spice and mature oak, giving added depth while retaining the distillery’s refined style.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich amber-gold with coppery glints, a warm, honeyed glow.
Nose
Elegant and perfumed, the nose bursts with delicate florals and orchard fruit—pear and apple—carried by a gentle malt sweetness. Soft spice knits through it, while mature oak lends depth and a refined, lasting warmth. Subtle sherry-cask hints add a quiet, dried-fruit richness to finish the aroma.
Palate
Full-bodied and elegant on the palate, it offers orchard fruit—pear and apple—with a delicate floral lift. Gentle malt sweetness threads through the center, while spice—cinnamon and clove—adds warmth. Mature oak lends structure, with a subtle sherry-tinged fruitiness lingering into a refined, long finish.
Finish
Long and elegant, the finish unfolds with orchard fruit and delicate floral notes that gradually give way to soft spice and mature oak. A trace of malt sweetness lingers, leaving a warm, polished echo of Linkwood’s refined Speyside character.
