Established in 1821 on the outskirts of Elgin in Speyside, Linkwood is celebrated for its refined, floral, and fruity single malts. The distillery’s slow distillation process, using traditional wooden washbacks and large copper stills, produces a smooth, aromatic spirit known for elegance and depth. Much of Linkwood’s whisky is used in top-quality blends such as Johnnie Walker and White Horse, though its single malts are highly regarded for their gentle sweetness and complexity. Now owned by Diageo, Linkwood continues to embody the classic, graceful character that defines Speyside whisky.
