The Murray McDavid Benchmark 12 Years Old Linkwood 2012 is an expressive single malt Scotch whisky from Speyside, which impresses with its elegant depth of character and distinctive cask finishing. Distilled in 2012 and matured for over 12 years, this whisky has been given a carefully balanced finish in Oloroso sherry and Tawny port casks – two fine wines that lend the distillate a fruity sweetness, a spicy structure and a silky complexity.

Bottled at 54.4 % ABV at natural cask strength, non-chill-filtered and with no added colouring, this Linkwood single malt is presented in its pure, authentic form. The Linkwood distillery, renowned for its floral and elegant distillery character, provides the perfect foundation here for a interplay of fruity, nutty and spicy aromas, as can only be achieved through the influence of high-quality wine casks.

Part of Murray McDavid’s renowned Benchmark series, this bottling epitomises creativity, quality and expertise in cask selection. The stylish gift box also makes it the ideal choice for discerning whisky enthusiasts and collectors.
