LINKWOOD

Linkwood distillery is located in Elgin and sources its water from the Millbuies Loch springs. Adjacent to the distillery lies a scenic reservoir that serves as a habitat for various local wildlife, including ducks and swans.

The distillery features two stillhouses: Linkwood A, which contains the original two stills but is currently inactive, and Linkwood B, which operates four additional stills. When fully matured, Linkwood retains its signature freshness, but its palate develops a rich, viscous texture that lingers on the tongue, giving the whisky a more deliberate presence. This unique blend of texture and finesse is what makes it highly sought after by blenders and cherished by single malt enthusiasts alike.

Its distinctive aroma is achieved through meticulous production: creating crystal-clear wort, using an extended fermentation process, and distilling slowly in pairs of stills, where the spirit stills are larger than the wash stills, ensuring maximum copper interaction for enhanced refinement.
