Linkwood 2008/2024 - 16 yo - 1st Fill Oloroso Hogshead #306431 (Best Dram)

Special features: This limited-edition bottling from Michel Reick's Best Dram project presents a 16-year-old Linkwood single malt, which was allowed to develop its distinctive aroma in a first-fill Oloroso sherry hogshead. With only 284 bottles worldwide, this whisky is a testament to a carefully selected cask maturation, where the sherry cask shapes the distillate with its intense spice and depth.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Ripe gooseberries and roasted hazelnuts blend with hints of dark sherry and fine spices.
• Palate: Full-bodied with rich apricot jam, subtle fruit sweetness and a complex spiciness reminiscent of Sauternes notes.
• Finish: Long-lasting, warming with a harmonious combination of sherry influence and fruity nuances.
