12-Year-Old Linkwood Calvados

12-Year-Old Linkwood CalvadosOriginated 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.

fumy aromas from a heavily peated Bunnahabhain expression

lively spiciness from its virgin oak finish
