    Linkwood

    On the outskirts of Elgin resides the Linkwood distillery which dates back to 1821. From its earliest days, it was prized by blenders and this support continues to this very day. However, today’s distillery, isn’t the original, as in 1872 it was demolished and rebuilt. Since then, it has been expanded and received at least two major refurbishments. Not that you’ll be able to tour Linkwood, as, despite its central Speyside location and accessibility, it has always been closed to visitors. The distillery is a relatively large producer of around 5 million litres annually and the majority of these go into blends. It has a very small official single malt presence with the Flora & Fauna 12 year old being the only staple release. Occasionally there have been special editions, but it is the independent sector that has done the most to showcase the harms of Linkwood. Given time, this is a classic representation of a Speyside whisky, full of poise, style and flavour.
