Murray McDavid - Benchmark Linkwood 8YO 2012 700ml

"Linkwood Distillery is one of the oldest producers of single malt whisky in Scotland. To celebrate the distillery’s 200-year anniversary, our Whisky Creations Team have selected this classic Speyside malt to mature in modern, small bourbon casks from our partners, Koval Distillery, in Chicago, USA. With a higher wood to spirit ratio, these small 110-litre casks mature spirit far quicker than if it were in a standard American barrel or a Sherry butt. After two years in these casks, the result is a wonderfully balanced whisky. A solid and reliable example of what can be achieved with the Art of Maturation.
