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…

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…

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…
