Tucked away in a beautiful, wooded location on the outskirts of Elgin, Linkwood is the absolute epitome of classic Speyside elegance. Founded in 1821 by Peter Brown, the distillery was built with a deep respect for its natural surroundings, a philosophy that perfectly mirrors the wonderfully fresh and vibrant spirit produced inside.
For decades, the vast majority of the whisky crafted here has been fiercely guarded by master blenders, highly prized for providing a brilliantly light, floral, and fruity heart to some of the world’s most famous blends. Consequently, official single malt releases from the distillery are incredibly rare and highly sought after by whisky lovers.
When allowed to stand entirely on its own, the classic Linkwood house style is completely unpeated, exceptionally smooth, and brilliantly fragrant. Pour a dram and you can expect gorgeous waves of crisp green apples, sweet spring flowers, soft vanilla, and a gentle touch of toasted almond. It is a wonderfully approachable and refined whisky that serves as a spectacular introduction to the lighter side of the region.
