A rare bottle of delicate and elegant vibes from the Speyside region.

Linkwood 12YO comes from the Linkwood Distillery in Elgin in the Speyside region. Built in 1821 by Peter Brown, today the distillery produces Whisky for blends such as Johnnie Walker, Haig, Bells, and White Horse; only 2% of the Whisky is actually used for single malts.

That’s why we’re all the more excited when these guys put out a Single Malt as the juice is always oh-so-special. Linkwood 12 Year Old Flora and Fauna is part of Diageo’s collection that highlights special bottlings from such malt Whisky distilleries. This unique Whisky begins with caramel cream, apples, and plums that develop into baking spices on the soft and gentle palate that rounds up with toasted cereal, honey, and almonds. Delicate and elegant are the words you’re looking for, essentially.

Categories of Scotch Whisky: Single malt, Blended malt (formerly called Vatted malt), blended, single grain and blended grain Scotch.
Single malt stands for around 10% of the Scotch market. This is a malt containing only one grain, legally required to be barley in Scotland, and made at a single distillery.

A blended Scotch is a combination of different malts from different distilleries. It is typically made from grain Whisky but does include malt Whisky to give it a more complex body.
Linkwood is one of the four major single malt distilleries of the giant Diageo. The other three are: Glen Elgin, Glen Lossie, and Mannochmore. 
Linkwood is different from many distilleries, because it has two different still houses.
Scotland is home to more than 20 million casks of maturing Whisky. That’s four for every person living there. Nuts!
Whisky or Whiskey? The spelling differs geographically. In Scotland, Japan, and some other parts of the world, distilleries usually spell it Whisky; in Ireland and the USA, they spell it Whiskey.
