Linkwood 2018

Benchmark Autumn 2024

Established in 1821, Linkwood Distillery is one of Speyside’s oldest producers of single malt whisky. In contrast to Linkwood’s rich history, we have put a modern spin on its light and fruity spirit by maturing it in Tawny Port wine barriques from Caves de Murça, our cask partners in Portugal’s famed Douro Valley.

Whisky needn’t always be judged on its age; high quality finishing casks rapidly elevate a spirit far beyond its years. We matured this Linkwood spirit for five of its six years in lavishly fruity Port casks, which has resulted in an astonishing dram that highlights the unexpected and rewarding possibilities of the Art of Maturation.
