- Description
- This 14-year-old Linkwood spent its final maturation period in virgin oak before bottling by Alistair Walker's Infrequent Flyers series. The fresh wood adds honeyed sweetness, vanilla, and toasted oak notes to Speyside's signature orchard fruits and floral character. Texture is clean and lively, with a finish that balances the new wood against the distillery's underlying elegance. At just 208 bottles, this represents an interesting study in how virgin oak reshapes a classic Speyside malt.
