Silver Seal Linkwood 16 Years Old 2009/2026 54.9% ABV 0.7l in a gift box online kaufen

The Silver Seal Linkwood 16 Years Old 2009/2026 54.9% ABV 0.7 l is an exclusive Speyside single malt Scotch whisky that combines traditional Scottish whisky-making with the cask expertise of an independent Italian bottler. It was distilled in 2009 at the Linkwood Distillery near Elgin, in the heart of Scotland’s Speyside region. The distillery was founded in 1821 and is renowned for its time-honoured production of high-quality malt whiskies. Following distillation, this special Linkwood single malt was allowed to mature for a total of 16 years in oak casks before being selected for bottling in 2026. The long maturation period forms the basis for the mature character of this whisky speciality.

The bottling is carried out by Silver Seal Whisky Company, a brand of the Italian spirits specialist Whisky Antique, led by the renowned whisky expert Massimo Righi. The Silver Seal Linkwood 2009/2026 Edition is part of the ‘Somewhere in Italy’ range and was bottled from an individually selected cask, cask number 28183. As a limited-edition single cask bottling, it reflects the distinctive maturation profile of this individual cask, setting it apart from the distillery’s regular standard bottlings. With a robust 54.9% ABV, the whisky retains its intense cask character. The 0.7-litre bottle, complete with a matching gift box, makes this 16-year-old Linkwood single malt an intriguing collector’s item for lovers of Scottish Speyside whiskies.

Tasting Note

Colour: Warm golden yellow with bright amber highlights.

Nose: Elegant aromas of juicy pears, ripe apples and delicate blossoms, accompanied by subtle honey, creamy vanilla and a hint of oaky spice.

Palate: Full-bodied and well-balanced, with a harmonious blend of sweet barley malt, ripe yellow fruits and gentle oak notes. Subtle spicy accents and a pleasant honeyed sweetness lend additional depth.

Finish: Long-lasting and pleasantly warming, with lingering fruity notes, delicate vanilla, spicy oak and an elegant malty sweetness.

The Silver Seal Linkwood 16 Years Old reveals its multi-layered aromas particularly well when enjoyed neat at room temperature, ideally in a tulip-shaped nosing glass. Given its high alcohol content of 54.9% ABV, a few drops of still water can help to further highlight the fruity and spicy facets resulting from its long ageing in oak casks. Recommended food pairings include mature Comté, roasted almonds, pear tart with vanilla cream or caramelised walnuts, whose flavours harmonise with the whisky. White chocolate, apple strudel or desserts with honey and nuts also offer interesting combinations. The matching gift box emphasises the exclusive character of this limited-edition Silver Seal bottling.
