A vibrant Linkwood cask aged 10 years in a refill barrel, showcasing the distillery’s elegant, fruit-forward spirit in a clean and expressive style. Refill maturation allows the character of the spirit to take centre stage, delivering clarity, balance and excellent drinkability.
At a notably high 62.95% current cask strength, this whisky retains remarkable freshness and intensity. The refill barrel has provided gentle oak influence without overpowering the malt, making this cask particularly appealing for those seeking a pure, distillery-driven profile with flexibility for bottling strength and style.
An excellent candidate for bottling now, or for short-term continued maturation to further soften and integrate the spirit.
Released as part of Global Whisky’s exclusive private stock offering.
