The Speyside region, by the banks of the river Lossie near Elgin, is the home of Linkwood distillery. This Linkwood single malt was distilled in 2008 and transferred to a first fill Oloroso sherry octave for finishing in 2023.
The cask has been bottled in collaboration with The Whisky Explorer, who meticulously selected this exceptional Linkwood, emphasizing its unique qualities, which have been nurtured in a sherry octave. Laden with abundant fruit notes and a rich aroma this Linkwood provides an exploration in flavour and a delightful sensory journey.

He has worked tirelessly to develop whisky culture and knowledge in Canada.
