Linkwood The Octave Single Madeira Wine Cask #7648944 Whisky 11 Year Old · 2014 Vintage
In stock
A Linkwood single malt from The Octave series, this 11 year old was distilled in 2014 and bottled in 2026 after maturation in a Madeira wine octave cask. Bottled at 55.2% ABV, the release was limited to 64 bottles.
Octave casks, much smaller than traditional casks, intensify wood interaction and concentrate flavour. Madeira cask maturation adds rich fruit sweetness and gentle spice to Linkwood’s elegant Speyside character, complementing the distillery’s naturally floral, fruity and refined malt profile in a concentrated single cask release.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep burnished amber with copper-gold highlights.
Nose
Floral, orchard fruit aroma—apple, pear, and orange blossom—framed by Madeira’s lush sweetness. Dried apricot, fig, and raisin mingle with toffee, almond and a gentle spice—cinnamon and clove—over polished oak. A refined, vibrant nose that hints at decadence while staying distinctly Speyside.
Palate
Opulent and concentrated on the palate, this Linkwood delivers Madeira-drenched fruit—dark fig, raisin and plum—paired with honeyed spice and polished oak. The 55.2% ABV lends a poised, creamy structure that carries a long, floral-malted finish with lingering orchard sweetness and a gentle kiss of spice.
Finish
Long, elegant finish where Madeira’s rich fruit sweetness lingers beside Linkwood’s refined malt. Dried orange zest, fig and raisin unfold into gentle spice—clove and cinnamon—with a soft vanilla oak echo, leaving a warm, floral, lasting fade.
