this malt’s unusual salinity melds beautifully with a sherried burst of tropical fruits from its finishing cask

Then a melange of sweetness

milk chocolate and marmalade

Emerging from Caol Ila’s secluded spot on Islay’s rugged north-eastern shore

Born at Bowmore

12-Year-Old Linkwood Virgin Oak this malt’s unusual salinity meldsOriginated on the edge of Elgin at Linkwood Distillery, Speyside. A hearty number matured in a bourbon barrel, before a month spent in a virgin oak cask. Golden in colour, goliath in character. Tangled aromas: sweet honey, toasted oak, dried fruit. Smooth and creamy to imbibe, with lightly spiced undertones.
