This young Linkwood from the Càrn Mòr series shows how expressive a Speyside whisky can be at a relatively young age. Distilled in 2017 and bottled after 8 years as a single cask, this whisky matured in a Tokaji cask—a less common choice that immediately leaves its mark on the character.
Linkwood is known for its elegant, fruity style, and precisely those characteristics are beautifully enhanced here. The sweet, wine-like character of the Tokaji cask adds extra layers without overpowering the fresh distillate. The result is a vibrant and juicy whisky where fruit is central.
Bottled at 51.2% and with a limited edition of only 228 bottles, this expression stays true to its core: pure, unfiltered, and pronounced in character. An interesting bottling for lovers of fruity Speyside whisky with a slightly exotic twist.
