- Description
- Distilled in 1990 and aged for 33 years in a single first-fill sherry butt, this Linkwood from Gordon & MacPhail bears little resemblance to the distillery's typically delicate character. Deep sherry influence dominates—dried figs, cherries, dark chocolate, and prunes steeped in Armagnac—with polished oak providing structural support throughout. This richly matured Speyside suits serious collectors and those seeking sherry-cask complexity from a closed distillery.
