Linkwood Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 12 years 2008
Speyside, The Whisky Cellar, 750 ml
| Producer: | The Whisky Cellar |
| Origin: | United Kingdom / Highland-Speyside |
Description
The Linkwood distillery first produced its light, fruity and fresh Speyside single malt back in 1824. The distillery's typical fruity aroma is achieved through the generation of an ultra-clear piquancy and slow distillation in copper alambiques. This whisky was matured for 10 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead before being finished for a further 2 years in a new red wine cask from the venerable Château Lafite appellation. Warm aromas of spice with a touch of joss and orange zest rise into the nose before being further carried on the palate by black tea, ripe figs and red berries. The finish draws to a close in a finale marked by the delicate aroma of smoked almonds. This is an exclusive bottling for Baur au Lac Vins in collaboration with The Whisky Cellar.

Highland-Speyside
Speyside: Das Herz der Whisky-Kultur
Geografisch gesehen ist die Speyside ein kleiner, nordöstlich gelegener Teilbereich der Highlands. Doch das Hügelland zwischen den Städten Inverness und Aberdeen, durch welches das Flüsschen Spy fliesst, das der Region ihren Namen gibt, ist das Herz und der Nabel der schottischen Whisky-Herstellung und Single Malt-Kultur. Nicht weniger als 50 der insgesamt 108 schottischen Destillerien sind hier beheimatet. Die Speyside-Malts bestechen mit ihrer Komplexität und Eleganz.
