- Description
- Linkwood distilled this single malt in October 2008, then matured it for 12 years in a hogshead cask before Fable Whisky's May 2021 bottling of 290 bottles. The hogshead cask provides measured oak influence to the distillery's classic Speyside character—orchard fruit, honeyed grain, and gentle oak spice create a balanced, approachable profile. Fable Whisky's artistic presentation and storytelling approach adds character to an otherwise straightforward independent bottling. A solid Speyside choice for those seeking transparent, cask-focused single malt without excess age or depth.
