This bottling of a 24-year-old Linkwood Glenlivet single malt was produced as a small batch by the independent bottler Cadenhead. The whisky was distilled in 1992, matured in two ex-bourbon hogsheads and was bottled at cask strength in 2017 with 384 bottles.
Linkwood is a distillery on the Burn of Linkwood, south of Elgin, Scotland, which was founded around 1825 by Peter Brown. It has been renovated, rebuilt and extended several times, most recently in 1971 with a new stillhouse (Linkwood B), the old stillhouse (Linkwood A) was closed between 1985 and 1990. Today, almost the entire output is used for Diageo blends.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
