LINKWOOD 15 Year Old Gordon & Macphail, 46% ABV
LINKWOOD 15 Year Old Gordon & Macphail, 46% ABV
This Linkwood 15 years old is bottled by Gordon & MacPhail in the famous Distillery Labels range. This single malt pleasantly combines fruity notes (citrus, white fruits) and spicy notes (cinnamon). The Distillery Labels range reflects the special relationships that Gordon & MacPhail has maintained with a handful of distilleries for over a century.
Entrusted year after year with new make spirits (the distillates), Gordon & MacPhail has developed its art for whisky maturation and highlights each expression under a unique label. It is an honor for these distilleries, which have become iconic today, that did not bottle or barely bottled their single malt under their own brand.

Serving Suggestions
First things first, be comfortable, relaxed and free from distractions. Pour a healthy amount (15-25ml) into a nosing glass (e.g., glencairn) and let it sit for a while. We recommend a minute of resting in the glass for every year in the cask. Otherwise, let it settle down for 5-10 minutes at least.
Help yourself to a 'warm up dram' in the meantime - something simple to open up the palate. When ready, start nosing the spirit, followed by sipping it (noting how it arrives on your palate and its development), and finally the finish. Take your time to get to know the spirit, noting its expression, character, depth, complexity and flavours. These can all change with adding drops of water so play around to find different sides of the spirit and identity a personal sweet spot for yourself!
But always remember, the best way to drink it is the way you like it!
