Linkwood 17 Years Old Picolit Wine Cask Finish

ABV: 50.2% 70 cL

This single malt was distilled at Linkwood, just outside Elgin in Speyside. Linkwood is known for a light, fruity and floral spirit, which makes it a natural partner for a sweet wine cask.

Bottled by independent bottler Spinner Bluff, it was matured for 17 years in total, with the final 3 years and 6 months spent in a cask that previously held Picolit wine. That is a long finish, giving the wine cask plenty of time to shape the whisky.

Picolit is a rare sweet white wine from Friuli in north-east Italy, made from the low-yielding Picolit grape. The grapes are often late-harvested or left to partly dry, concentrating their sugars into a golden, honeyed and aromatic dessert wine.

The delicate orchard-fruit character of Linkwood and the sweetness of the Picolit cask complement each other, resulting in a bright, fruity whisky with a gentle spice.

Nose

Crisp yellow apples, lemon blossom and heather honey.

Palate

Apple strudel, grilled pineapple, white pepper, candied citrus and almond oil.

Finish

Refreshing sweet apples, apricots in syrup and ginger spice.

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.
