The Linkwood 2013 BR Small Batch Hogshead is a distinguished Speyside whisky, matured for a decade in ex-bourbon casks and bottled at a robust 46% ABV. This 700ml bottle is one of only 1,147 produced in 2023, making it a rare find for enthusiasts and collectors alike. On the nose, it offers a delightful bouquet of warm Victoria sponge, buttery coconut, and rich fudge. The palate reveals layers of spiced vanilla yogurt, anise, and toasted oak, accompanied by hints of stewed apple and pear. The finish is characterized by a gentle spice, with a touch of vanilla tea rounding out the experience. The Linkwood Distillery, established in 1821 in the heart of Speyside, is renowned for its exquisite whiskies. Despite expansions in the 1960s and 1970s, the distillery has meticulously preserved its original Victorian architecture. The serene setting, complete with swans and ducks in the water used for the condensers, adds to the charm of this historic site. Berry Bros & Rudd, Britain’s oldest wine and spirit merchant, has selected this particular Linkwood with their signature discerning taste. Their expertise is evident in the whisky's exceptional quality, capturing the essence of the Linkwood Distillery. The ex-bourbon cask maturation imparts notes of coconut cake, anise, and vanilla on the nose, while the palate is enriched with flavors of stewed pear, black tea, and toasted oak. This whisky is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of the Linkwood Distillery and the refined selection process of Berry Bros & Rudd.
