- Description
- This Linkwood distilled in October 1996 matured 22 years in hogsheads before Signatory bottled it at cask strength (56% ABV) for their Cask Strength Collection in March 2019. A spicy Speyside with the depth that comes from extended wood influence, the whisky balances malt sweetness against oak tannins and pepper notes. Released in just 508 bottles, this is a muscular interpretation of Linkwood's typically elegant profile. Perfect for those seeking serious Speyside complexity at natural strength.
