Linkwood 31 Years Old 1995 #12 Symington's Choice

Distilled in 1995 at Linkwood, just outside Elgin in Speyside, this is a single cask from a distillery known for its light, fruity and floral spirit, a style that takes beautifully to long ageing.

Signatory Vintage selected this cask for their Symington's Choice range, a series of individually chosen casks bearing the name of Signatory's Andrew Symington. After more than three decades in wood, the whisky spent its final period in a 1st fill Oloroso sherry hogshead before being bottled as cask #12.

Oloroso is a rich, oxidatively aged sherry from Jerez in southern Spain. A first fill cask has held sherry immediately before receiving whisky, so it gives the most influence, adding depth, colour and a rounded sweetness. The hogshead is a mid-sized cask, giving good contact between spirit and wood.

Bringing a delicate, fruit-led Speyside spirit together with a first fill Oloroso cask after 31 years gives a whisky of real depth and maturity, where the sherry adds weight without hiding the elegance of the distillery character.

Aged 31 years, distilled in 1995 and bottled in 2026 from cask #12. Presented at natural cask strength and at natural colour.
