This 13-year-old Linkwood is a vibrant and characterful expression that beautifully captures the elegant nature of this renowned Speyside distillery. Matured in a carefully selected American oak hogshead and bottled at 47.3% ABV, this release offers a harmonious balance of floral delicacy, abundant fruitiness, and indulgent sweetness.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Fresh, fragrant, and wonderfully expressive. Delicate aromas of honeysuckle, blossom, and wildflowers are intertwined with baked apples, poached pears, and ripe peaches. Apricot jam, strawberry preserve, and hints of raspberry coulis add a luscious sweetness, while vanilla custard, marshmallow, and freshly baked pastries provide an indulgent backdrop. Subtle citrus zest and soft oak lend further complexity.

Palate: Elegant and silky in texture, opening with waves of orchard fruits, peach compote, pineapple, and mango. Rich notes of apricot preserve, berry jam, and floral honey develop alongside vanilla sponge cake, coconut cream, milk chocolate, and buttery pastry. Gentle baking spices and delicate herbal nuances bring balance, while hints of cappuccino, toasted almonds, and soft oak add depth and structure.

Finish: Medium to long, with lingering impressions of floral honey, ripe stone fruits, berry preserves, and warming spices. Toasted oak and vanilla cream gradually fade into a delicate, fruit-laden sweetness, leaving a refined and memorable conclusion.

A beautifully expressive Linkwood that showcases the distillery’s signature floral elegance while layering in vibrant fruit character, jammy richness, and dessert-like complexity. Perfectly suited to The Wealth Spirit’s philosophy of selecting distinctive and memorable casks.
