Fresh and exciting yet elegant and wonderfully structured. Everything you want from a Speyside whisky!
Soft stone fruit sweetness is perfectly balanced with gentle spice and a hint of liquorice. This whisky has a superb oily waxy texture that adds extra depth to the experience.
A drop of water opens everything up and releases more fruits, floral notes and oak spices. It’s like an old fashioned sweet shop, but for adults only at 59% abv cask strength.
11 years in one single bourbon cask has imbued this whisky with the superb quality Linkwood distillery is celebrated for. No wonder Master blenders try and keep it all for themselves!
Nose
Open up this fabulous bouquet with a dash of water. Fruity initially with peach and apricot with a touch of grapefruit keeping it fresh. Wine gums, a hint of raspberry and subtle mint add to the sweetshop aromas of hard candy. 
Palate
Elegant with a delicious core of stone fruits and candy sweets. Some creamy highland toffee and a barley sugar sweetness, along with those sweetshop flavours, followed by gentle liquorice and a touch of spice for balance. Easy drinking for such a complex dram.
Finish
Satisfying and moreish with the fruit fading to spice.
