Linkwood 17 Years Old 1998 (Private Collection)

The Urquhart family's Gordon & MacPhail has bottled from Elgin since 1895, a Speyside institution. This bottling is a 17 year old Linkwood, laid down in 1998 and drawn off in 2015.

Seventeen years in ex-Bourbon frame its light, honeyed Speyside spirit.

Bottled at 45%, the ex-Bourbon adds vanilla and a honeyed oak note. Expect old wood, a sherried character.
