Description
This Linkwood 2008/2023 - 14 Year Old Margaux Wine Cask Finish connects the light and floral character of the traditional distillery with the sensual depth of a noble barrique. The long maturation in the high-quality red wine cask clearly sets it apart from classic Speysiders, making it a bottle for connoisseurs seeking something special. At 55.3% Vol., the whisky is full-bodied, fruity, and elegantly spicy on the palate. The 3.5 years in the First Fill Margaux Cask bring dark berries, red fruits, and soft tannins into play. The Linkwood distillery, over 200 years old, is one of Speyside's oldest producers of single malt whisky. This Benchmark series release showcases a delicate spirit matured in a traditional French red wine barrique from an ex-Bordeaux's most famous Chateau Margaux, demonstrating the importance of cask maturation and bursting with flavor.
