- Description
- Linkwood's 26-year-old (distilled August 1989, bottled October 2015) comes from a single refill sherry hogshead and yields only 312 bottles, representing one of few available single malts from a distillery prized by blenders. The extended sherry maturation builds rich, dried-fruit character rarely found in official bottlings from this Speyside producer.
