- Description
- This Linkwood spent 13 years in bourbon before a finishing period in Pedro Ximénez sherry hogsheads, creating a Speyside single malt with richer colour and additional depth than the distillery's baseline character. Sherry maturation brings dried fruit, toffee, and warming spice to Linkwood's typical floral and fruity foundation, while the 2008 distillation ensures enough maturity to integrate the wood influence. Bottled by Càrn Mòr with 875 bottles released, this offers sherry-influenced Speyside at natural strength.
