Linkwood Signatory Vintage Cask Strength Collection Single Cask #4240 Whisky 22 Year Old · 1997 Vintage

Colour

Copper-gold with warm amber hues and a touch of mahogany at the rim, shimmering with sherry-kissed depth.

Nose

Opulent and warming, the nose unfolds with honeyed orchard fruit and fragrant vanilla, caressed by toasted oak. Subtle sherried sweetness adds raisin and fig notes, while almond paste and white chocolate lend creaminess. A gentle spice fuse—cinnamon, nutmeg—lingers with a polished, waxy depth, hinting at the cask strength embrace.

Palate

Powerful and luxurious on the palate, this Linkwood from a single hogshead pours with cask-strength depth. Sherry’s influence coats the fruit: dried fig, raisin, and dark berry, supported by pear and apple undercurrents. Vanilla, toffee and cocoa thread through, while oak spice—cinnamon and clove—adds complexity. A velvet, syrupy texture leads to a long, warming finish that lingers with sweetness and spice.

Finish

The finish is long and luxurious, a warming, silky glow of sherry-soaked fruit—dates and figs—spiced with nutmeg and cinnamon, hints of dark chocolate and leather, before a resinous oak lift lingers with graceful persistence.
