- Description
- Linkwood distilled in 1939 was bottled by Gordon & MacPhail decades later, capturing a rare expression from Speyside's pre-war distillation. The extended wood aging has developed deep, mellow notes characteristic of aged Speyside malt, with emerging complexity from long maturation in traditional casks. At 40% ABV, the palate is smooth and contemplative, a snapshot of historical whisky-making. A collector's piece for those interested in Speyside heritage and vintage bottlings.
