- Description
- Linkwood's 12-year-old was distilled in 2008, matured in ex-bourbon cask, then finished in Bordeaux wine barrique before independent bottling by DS Tayman in 2021, yielding 358 bottles. The Bordeaux finish would have introduced wine-soaked wood character and additional complexity to Linkwood's typical Speyside profile. This is for those interested in how wine finishes complement classic Speyside distillery character.
