1987 Cadenheads Small Batch Linkwood 28 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Distilled in 1987 and bottled in 2015 this 28 year old was drawn from 2 butts yielding 1062 bottles. For Linkwood pundits, this was produced on the newer stills at the distillery known as "Linkwood B". The ‘A’ stills were closed in 1985. All sherry oak matured, so this could be very different. To give some perspective on the value here, Diageo's 2016 Special Releases include a rarely found official distillery bottling at 37 years of age for $1000!

In Cadenhead's words, "Heavier than the nose suggests in such a good way with the aroma of baked apples; dried apricots with walnuts and slightly earthy like notes or a musty bond filled with old sherry casks. The addition of 1 drop of water really delivers across the palate some amazing rich fruity notes. Some orange and chocolate with a spiced edge." 58.4% Alc./Vol.
