- Description
- Linkwood's 8-year-old from 2013, bottled by independent bottler Càrn Mòr in 2022, matured entirely in ex-bourbon barrels and yields just 937 bottles for the Strictly Limited collection. The spirit displays classic Speyside characteristics—orchard fruit, subtle spice, and clean malt—with the ex-bourbon cask providing vanilla and gentle wood influence without dominating the distillery's delicate house style. The palate is light to medium-bodied and approachable, with a clean, crisp finish. Ideal for those seeking authentic Speyside character from a limited, independent bottling.
