Description
Linkwood's 1956 vintage spent 60 years in a single first-fill sherry hogshead before bottling in 2016, developing the deep complexity only six decades of cask influence can achieve. Rich aromatics of baked apple, sultanas, and crème anglaise lead to a palate layered with dark honey, apple strudel, and dark chocolate notes, finishing with oak spice and candied fruit. A museum-piece Speyside for collectors and those seeking the refined character of pre-1960s distillery stock.
