Description

Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whiskies
Bottled by: Gordon & MacPhail 70cl / 49.4%

A single cask 1953 Linkwood bottled as a 61-year-old in 2014 by Gordon & MacPhail as one of four special editions for their prestige Private Collection Ultra limited series. Cask 279 was selected by retired G&M director Rosemary Rankin and her son Stephen Rankin, G&M's director of sales.

This 61-year-old Linkwood 1953 came from a single first fill sherry hogshead cask that yielded just 55 bottles at its natural cask strength of 49.4%. Linkwood is one of only a handful of distilleries whose spirit can withstand this type of extended ageing, and this is a stunning whisky, showing fabulous sherry flavours and remarkable tertiary ageing characteristics, very similar to cognac's rancio.

Please note this comes with all the original packaging.
