Description
This 12 year old Speyside single malt was distilled at the Linkwood distillery and bottled for the, since discontinued, Flora & Fauna range.
Official bottlings of Linkwood are scarce. Its malt has always been considered a key component of many popular blends, such as Johnnie Walker and White Horse, with much of its output reserved for these as a result.
In 1982 it was selected for the Ascot Malt Cellar range by DCL, an early precursor to the Classic Malts range later launched by United Distillers.
It was on the short-list at the time, but the company eventually opted for Cragganmore as the Speyside representative instead, later opting to revive this 12 year old under the Flora & Fauna brand, and it remains the only permanent distillery bottling available.
Complete with original wooden presentation case.
Please note as this is a vintage bottle, conditions of bottle/label and liquid level can vary - Some years can vary as estimations only (example: estimated 1970s/80s).
