- Description
- Linkwood's 2006 distillate spent 17 years maturing in a single oloroso sherry butt, emerging with the rich, dried-fruit complexity characteristic of Speyside whisky finished in quality Spanish oak. North Star Spirits bottled this as a limited release of 575 bottles, capturing layers of orchard fruit, toffee, and warming spice. The sherried influence dominates without overwhelming the underlying malt character—a refined dram for patient collectors.
