Cuvée presentation

A single cask (#39.251) of Linkwood distilled in 2011, aged for 11 years in a second-fill bourbon cask. The Scotch Malt Whisky Society (SMWS) was founded in 1983 in Edinburgh by a whisky-loving group of friends. The club selects the casks and only offers the bottles to club members. The distilleries are not mentioned on the label, but each one is given a number as it is bottled. For example, the first cask selected by the SMWS was a Glenfarclas, so the distillery was given the number 1. The second number corresponds to the number of bottlings from the same distillery. SMWS was sold to Glenmorangie in 2004 and then to a group of investors in 2016. A limited edition of 214 bottles.

The distillery Linkwood

Scotland, Speyside. Distillery operational. Owner: Diageo

Speyside, the golden triangle of the Scotch whisky industry, is home to a huge concentration of distilleries. From the internationally renowned to those known only to a few, Linkwood included. The distillery's oldest bottlings come from Italian importers such as Samaroli and Darma Import. One of the most sought-after is the Linkwood 12 Year Old 1957, 56.9%, Samaroli Import. After this, bottlings from its owners United Distillers & Vintners (Diageo) were rarer and appeared primarily in the Rare Malts Selection, Flora & Fauna and Manager's Dram ranges. It was not until the early 2000s that a 1981 trilogy finished in port, rum and red wine casks was released, propelling Linkwood into the spotlight. One again, it was independent bottlers, including Gordon & MacPhail and Cadenhead, that drove this single malt and brought it to the public's attention, from ex-sherry casks to very old vintages such as the 1939.
