The Best Dram Linkwood 16 Years Old is an outstanding single cask bottling for lovers of rare Speyside whiskies with a strong sherry cask influence. Distilled in 2008 at the traditional Linkwood Distillery and bottled in 2024, this fine single malt matured for a full 16 years in a 1st fill Oloroso sherry hogshead with the cask number #306431. The long maturation period in an active Spanish oak cask has given it exceptional depth, aromatic maturity and a particularly multi-layered profile.

With a strong alcohol content of 55.7% vol., not chill-filtered and without colouring, this bottling offers an unadulterated enjoyment experience in its natural state. The combination of Linkwood's elegant distillery characteristics and the intense, dark notes of Oloroso sherry results in a complex, full-bodied whisky with style and substance - perfect for experienced connoisseurs and discerning collectors.
