Speyside classic

Nothing blatant or clumsy about this. Just excellent spirit from good casks. A perfect summer malt .

Steven Riley Sep 23, 2021

Classic speyside

This bottling is one I return to regularly as a summer malt. Wonderfully balanced between casks and distillate. Takes water well.

Master of Malt Customer Sep 23, 2021

Marvellous, summery malt

Linkwood has a stellar reputation but is largely unknown in the whisky world with most of it destined for JW blends, most notably the excellent JW Green Label. This is the only official Diageo bottling and as apparently been discontinued. I'm frankly mystified why it doesn't have a regular bottling. Yes the Speyside malt category is overcrowded but there is enough honest complexity here to set it aside from its rivals. Any caramel colourant is kept to a minimum (I don't think there even is any but who really knows), a decent ABV of 43% and wonderful fresh notes of cut grass, hay, slight citrus, green apple and oil. Yes its an oily one and cloys the mouth in very pleasant way. You see a lot of Linkwood in the Independent Bottling market and I would definitely seek a bottle out from this avenue but I do think a more pronounced official bottling is long overdue. Come on Diageo, make it happen :) Cheers
