Linkwood
12 Year Old - Flora and Fauna

*please note that the ABV of this bottle may vary
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.

Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made in Scotland using a pot still distillation process at a single distillery, with malted barley as the only grain ingredient. It must be matured in oak casks in Scotland for at least three years (most Single Malts are matured longer, though).
Can Scotch go bad? Technically, an unopened bottle of Scotch can last forever. Air is the only true evil to Whisky; once the liquid is oxidized it is no longer immortal. After opening, as long as you store your Whisky in a cool, dry place, it will last another 5 years.
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.

90% of all Scotch Whiskies sold are Blends.
First-class Whiskies are taxed not only by the state but also by the angels. This refers to the 4% of Whisky that evaporates from the barrels every year, a phenomenon known as the angel’s share.
During the annual 'Spirit of Speyside Festival', a special tour is offered called 'The Laich of Moray'. This tour covers all four of Diageo's single malt distilleries, including Linkwood.
