Linkwood 2012

Benchmark Spring 2023

Producing great single malt Scotch whisky for over 200 years, Linkwood Distillery is one of Speyside’s unsung heroes. Our Whisky Creations Team have selected to fill this time-honoured, fruity spirit into first-fill Tawny Port wine barriques from our cask partners Caves de Murça, in the Douro Valley, Portugal.

“For its final four years, this fresh Linkwood spirit has been emboldened by the luscious influence from the first-fill Tawny Port wine barriques. This dram perfectly demonstrates the importance of using quality wood from fine producers to achieve fine flavours and harmony when finishing whisky – this is the Art of Maturation.”
