- Description
- This 1999 Linkwood from Douglas Laing's Provenance range was matured in a single ex-bourbon barrel, allowing the distillery's naturally fruity and floral character to develop without heavy oak influence. The nine-year maturation in refill wood would have preserved delicate cereal notes and green apple aromatics alongside gentle vanilla from the bourbon cask. A refined, cask-focused expression suited to those who prefer understated Speyside elegance.
