- Description
- This 2006 Linkwood, matured for 11 years in hogshead casks before independent bottling by Càrn Mòr, captures Speyside's classic honeyed, orchard-fruit character in a limited bottling of just 830 bottles. The extended hogshead aging imparts subtle oak influence and a touch of dry spice, complementing notes of apple, honey, and gentle grain sweetness. The mouthfeel is balanced and refined, with a finish that remains bright rather than overly woody. A limited, well-crafted bottling ideal for collectors seeking examples of Speyside's quieter, more nuanced expressions.
