Linkwood 25 Years Speyside Single Malt (Gordon & Macphail) ABV 46% 700ml

Sweet sherry aromas mingle with hints of brown sugar and candied peel.

The palate is smooth with stewed fruits, dark chocolate and roasted hazelnut.

The finish reveals warm spices and charred oak.

Gordon & Macphail independent bottler is without a doubt one of the most highly acclaimed in Scotland. It stands out, not for its age (though it is the oldest independent bottler in Scotland), but for its complete mastery of cask ageing. Gordon & MacPhail is the only bottler to have its own casks - carefully chosen for the purpose - filled by the distilleries themselves, instead of simply buying the ones suggested to them by the latter. This allows it to determine, in advance and with great precision, exactly how many years a whisky will need to reach ideal maturation.
