- Description
- Linkwood distilled in March 2008 and matured for 12 years in a pair of hogshead casks before being bottled un-chillfiltered by Signatory in 2020, preserving the full character that cold-filtration typically removes. As a Speyside single malt, expect the distillery's characteristic orchard fruits and floral notes to come through cleanly, enhanced by the absence of filtration. The un-chillfiltered approach means you may encounter some cloudiness at lower temperatures, but the payoff is greater complexity and texture on the palate. For those who prioritize natural character and don't mind the visual quirks that come with minimal processing.
