This Linkwood 2009 16 Year Old from Adelphi Selection is a Speyside single malt with a distinct character of its own. Bottled at 53.1% and coming from cask #552912, this whisky brings together Linkwood's classic elegance with the deeper, more structured influence of sherry wood.
Linkwood is a distillery often appreciated by enthusiasts for its pure, refined distillate style and its role within the Speyside tradition. In the hands of Adelphi Selection, such a whisky also gains an extra personal framework: this independent bottler is known for selecting casks with character, typically without smoothing or over-polishing the whisky.
This bottling matured entirely in an Oloroso sherry hogshead, which gives it a richer and more enveloped style without losing its Speyside origin. The higher alcohol content provides power and structure, while the 16 years of maturation and age suggest a beautiful maturity.
With an outturn of only 202 bottles, this is a limited release for lovers of sherry-matured Speyside whisky with depth and distillery character. An excellent choice for those who enjoy opening an independent bottling where cask, age, and house style naturally converge.
