- Description
- Distilled in 2013 and matured in a single sherry butt, this Linkwood single malt from Speyside spent eight years developing the influence of Spanish oak before Càrn Mòr bottled it at 47.5% without chill-filtration or colouring. The sherry cask imparts rich dried fruit, spice, and warming tannins to the distillery's naturally waxy and slightly floral character. The non-chill-filtered presentation delivers a full mouthfeel and extended finish characteristic of active sherry wood. Best for those seeking Speyside complexity with pronounced sherry influence and a contemporary independent bottler's finishing philosophy.
