- Description
- Linkwood's 1995 vintage, aged 18 years and released as a single cask of just 86 bottles, represents classic Speyside maturity from a distillery whose output is increasingly rare. Expect honeyed malts and dried fruit developed through extended aging in refill wood, with a silky texture and measured complexity. The restrained cask influence allows the distillery's orchard and floral character to shine. A collector's dram showcasing Speyside's subtle refinement.
