Distillery: Linkwood
From Signatory’s 100 Proof Edition series comes this 12-year-old Linkwood, matured in a combination of first-fill and second-fill oloroso sherry butts. The higher bottling strength of 57.1% ABV (or 100 proof) highlights Linkwood’s elegant orchard fruit character while giving extra drive to the rich sherry notes.
Linkwood 12 Year Old 2012 - 100 Proof Edition #68 (Signatory) Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 700ML Tasting Notes
Nose: Sultanas and baked apple with warm sherry sweetness and a little polished oak in support.
Palate: Stewed orchard fruits, soft toffee richness, and subtle nutty depth from the oloroso influence.
Finish: Baked apple, dried fruit, and a lingering sherry glow.
Distillery Information
The Linkwood distillery sits in Elgin, drawing its water from the springs of Millbuies Loch. Next to the distillery is a large and rather beautiful reservoir which plays host to a variety of local wildlife including ducks and swans, the latter can be seen gracing the label of the twelve year-old bottling. Linkwood is home to two stillhouses, Linkwood A, which is currently not in use, houses the two original stills and Linkwood B, in which a further four stills operate. The distillery has a capacity of 2.24 million litres per annum and the majority of the whisky produced is used for blending, notably in Johnnie Walker. Thanks to Diageo there have been, of late, several single malt whiskies released from Linkwood. In 2008, three twenty-six year-olds were launched, notable for their 50cl bottles and having spent the last fourteen years of their maturation in either rum, red wine or port casks. There have been quite a number of independent bottlings in recent times, joining a few special editions and the Flora and Fauna twelve year-old. The Linkwood distillery was founded in 1821 by Peter Brown and rebuilt fifty-one years later following William Brown’s inheritance of the distillery in 1868. Linkwood is currently under Diageo ownership following Scottish Malt Distillers takeover in 1933 and their subsequent amalgamation to form the drinks giant.
