Linkwood - 2009 - Spirit of Speyside 2026

ALC. 48%      70 CL

Distilled in 2009 and bottled in 2026, this Linkwood 16 Year Old is a special single cask release created exclusively by The Speyside Whisky Shop to celebrate the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival 2026, showcasing the elegant character of Linkwood Distillery in a beautifully pure form. Matured entirely in a single first fill bourbon barrel, this limited bottling highlights Linkwood’s naturally refined and floral house style, allowing the distillate to shine with clarity and balance after sixteen years of patient maturation. On the nose it opens with sliced green apple, spring flowers and a gentle vanilla sweetness, leading into a silky, composed palate of orange blossom honey, fresh pear and a warming touch of white pepper. The finish is medium in length, clean and gently sweet, fading through floral honey and a soft whisper of grassy meadow, making this a poised and quietly expressive festival bottling that captures both place and moment.
