  • Linkwood 14 Year Old 1982 Wilson & Morgan - Butter cookies

    Wilson & Morgan bottled this Linkwood already in 1997. The bottle can no longer be found, I am afraid. I tried a more recent Linkwood from the same bottler not too long ago. Wonder how this one will fare… read more

    The Italian bottler Wilson & Morgan has brought us quite a few goodies already. So I am quite curious to their Barrel Selection of this 12 Year Old Linkwood, a distillate from 2000. The nose is fatty,… read more

  • Linkwood 19 Year Old 1990 The Ultimate - Revelation

    By markjedi1 on 11th Jan 20132013-01-11T19:07:00

    88

    Van Wees is a Dutch bottler that launches its whiskies under the somewhat bombastic (and in my opinion not so please to the eye) label The Ultimate. This Linkwood was distilled in 1990 and bottled at … read more

    A.D. Rattray bottled a 21 Year Old Linkwood in 2011, distilled in 1989. The sherry cask, number 7322, yielded no less than 522 bottles. The nose is very herbaceous and reminds me of a wild prairie with… read more

    Let us stick with Signatory and their Cask Strength Collection. This independent bottler is also owner of Edradour distillery and run by the always friendly Andrew Symington. This Linkwood was distilled… read more

    The last Linkwood from the 70s that I will try this week is a Signatory Vintage from the Cask Strength Collection, in those sublime decanters that my granny loves to use for all sorts of oils and vine… read more

    At the beginning of the century, Diageo launched the popular series Rare Malts. This Linkwood from 1975 is one of those (there are in fact several Linkwood bottled in this Rare Malts series). You can … read more

  • Linkwood 21 Year Old Gordon & Macphail - Orangettes

    By markjedi1 on 11th Jan 20132013-01-11T19:04:00

    84

    Gordon & Macphail has bottled quite a lot of Linkwood. This 21 Year Old was marketed in 1995, so this must be a 1973 or 1974 distillate, produced on the new stills that were installed in 1971. The nose… read more

    The Linkwood distillery has been operational since 1821. In 1962 significant refurbishments were conducted and in 1971 the number of stills was increased from 2 to 4. Actually, a new set of four stills… read more
