Linkwood 2008/2026 - 17 y.o. - 1st Fill Margaux Red Wine Barrique #306489 (Best Dram)
Special features: This 17-year-old Linkwood Single Malt was bottled at cask strength by the independent bottler Best Dram and matured for 17 years in a First Fill Margaux Red Wine Barrique. This rare maturation gives the whisky a unique depth and complexity. With only 268 bottles filled, this release is a coveted collector's item for whisky lovers.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Aromas of grape juice, peach, and apple jelly, accompanied by a hint of citrus zest. Over time, the fruity notes intensify and become more vibrant.
- Palate: A strong start, followed by a soft texture. Dark grapes and ripe peach combine, with the sweetness of the nose receding slightly. A hint of caramelized cane sugar adds depth. The finish becomes increasingly dry.
- Finish: Medium length, with decreasing fruity sweetness and a transition to a dry note.
Distillery/Bottler: The Linkwood Distillery, founded in 1821 by Peter Brown, is located in the Speyside region of Scotland. It is known for its elegant and balanced single malts, which are often used in blends. Best Dram, led by Michel Reick, is an independent bottler known for its careful cask selection and the presentation of single cask bottlings at natural cask strength.
