Linkwood 1985 | 23 Year Old | First Cask 3891Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky Bottled by: Direct Wines Ltd 70cl 46% A 1985 23 year old Linkwood from First Cask. Linkwood needs a little extra age to really shine so this should be really classy stuff, bottled at an extremely quaffable 46% to boot.

This is a very typical example of Laphroaig from the 1960s

meaning that the youngest whisky inside must have been distilled no later than December 1950

A real lost treasure

tarry and filled with a rich fug of peat that unmistakably screams Ardbeg

Glendronach has long been a hidden gem of a malt until recent years

chocolate and spice

the distillery's 18-year-old is richly-sherried without being cloying or over-powered

preserving the character of lost names such as Cambus for enthusiasts and collectors

a crown jewel or two in for safe keeping

with most batches showing lots of spices

Bottling Year 2016

Fascinating and delicious stuff
