LINKWOOD 1997 THE FIRST EDITIONS
First Editions tend to be elegant, older and gentle Speyside examples, but can include an array of expressions from well known distilleries such as Macallan, Port Ellen and less known ones like Mortlach and Linkwood. This single cask was bottled in 2015 aged 18 years at cask strength, non-chill filtered, non-coloured and one of 148 from a refill Hogshead cask. A mellow, full bodied nose with custard powder, butter, shortbread, stewed rhubarb and raspberry. Butterscotch, red berries and pears with a hint of oak.
