- Description
- Distilled in May 1995 at Linkwood, this 22-year-old single malt spent two decades in a pair of hogshead casks before Duncan Taylor's Signatory bottled it in February 2018. Speyside's signature orchard fruits and honey would have matured into more complex dried fruit, subtle spice, and gentle oak influence over this period. The extended maturation in hogsheads suggests a balanced profile with good depth but restrained oak dominance. An ideal pour for Speyside enthusiasts seeking age and complexity without excessive extraction.
