Nestled in a tranquil, wooded setting near Elgin, Linkwood produces a spirit that is legendary among master blenders. For decades, the incredibly elegant and fragrant liquid crafted here has been highly prized for providing the floral heart to some of the world's most famous blended whiskies, making it remarkably difficult to find bottled as a pure single malt. This 12 Year Old release is a standout star of the highly celebrated Flora & Fauna series. The label beautifully features a pair of swans, a direct nod to the wildlife found on the picturesque loch that sits within the distillery grounds. It is a spectacular representation of the lighter, fresher side of the Speyside region, having rested patiently to preserve its delicate, unpeated nature. Pour a dram and the aroma is beautifully soft and inviting. Expect sweet waves of spring flowers, crisp green apples, and a gentle touch of toasted almond. On the palate, it is incredibly silky and approachable. It delivers gorgeous flavours of fresh vanilla pod, sweet orchard fruit, and a subtle hint of warm honey, all melting into a brilliantly clean and refreshing finish with a subtle hint of dry oak.
