- Description
- Linkwood's delicate Speyside character shines through a generous oloroso sherry finish in this cask-strength release from the Keeble Cask Company. Matured in fresh oloroso quarter casks for its final period, the spirit develops honeyed stone fruit, warming spice, and subtle oak influence at 57.2% ABV. The texture is rich and slightly oily, with a persistent sweetness that extends into the finish. A showcase for how sherry cask finishing can enhance Linkwood's naturally fragrant profile.
