Linkwood is a distinguished Speyside single malt Scotch whisky distillery located near Elgin, Scotland. Founded in 1821 by Peter Brown, the distillery is well-regarded for its delicate and complex whiskies, often described as having floral and fruity characteristics with a notably smooth texture. Linkwood's production primarily contributes to blends, including prominent names like Johnnie Walker and White Horse, though it also releases its single malts, which are highly valued for their quality and depth of flavor.
The Linkwood 8 Year Old Very Cloudy is a distinctively un-chill-filtered single malt Scotch, which exhibits a fascinating array of sensory experiences. The nose greets you with a fresh, fruity bouquet of malted barley, green grass, and bitter oranges, setting an invitingly fresh tone. On the palate, it unfolds with an oily texture carrying flavours of orchard fruits mixed with exotic guava and pineapple, enriched with floral and vanilla hints for a complex profile. The finish is pleasing and moderately long, carrying forward the fruity essence with a gentle spice that complements the overall sipping experience. This whisky’s slightly cloudy appearance due to the lack of cold filtration adds a rich, full-bodied aromatic profile, making it a standout dram for those who appreciate depth and nuance in their whisky.
