Description
Distilled in February 1954 and aged for 56 years in a first-fill sherry butt, this Linkwood represents a snapshot of Speyside whisky from the mid-20th century. The extended maturation in sherry wood would have developed rich, oxidative characteristics with deep fruit, dried berry, and warming spice. At 40% ABV, this is a delicate, historically significant dram that demands contemplation. A collector's piece for those seeking the rarest expressions of classic Scottish distilling.
