- Description
- Linkwood's 2011 vintage rested in a single refill sherry hogshead for exactly a decade before The Vintage Malt Whisky Company bottled it at cask strength (52.5% ABV) for The Cooper's Choice series. Refill cask maturation allows the distillery's own character to shine alongside subtle sherry influence, creating balance between spirit and wood. The higher ABV delivers weight and intensity on the palate, with a dry finish that avoids over-extraction. Best suited to those who prefer their Speyside without excessive sherry dominance.
