Fable Whiskies Linkwood 12 year old - Folk Chapter 2

The Artist's illustration masterfully captures the essence of the folk of Clanyard Bay. Despite its eerie appearance, Linkwood provides a unique perspective on one of Speyside’s most well-kept secrets.

This delicately floral single malt is distinguished by notes of green apple and white chocolate. Subtle yet highly complex, Linkwood single malts interact exceptionally well with American oak. Over time, as Linkwood matures, it develops a warmer, spicier character. Carefully selected casks have been secured to showcase each of these evolving qualities in dedicated releases.

LINKWOOD DISTILLERY

Linkwood distillery is located close to Elgin in the Speyside. It was built in 1821 but only started operations in 1824 once the Excise Act 1823 was enacted. The distillery operated under the management of an appointed master distiller until the death of the founder Peter Brown. His son William Brown took control of the distillery immediately after his death.

The distillery was rebuilt between 1872 and 1873 and the production capacity was increased. The distillery operated independently until William Brown's death. His family formed the Linkwood-Glenlivet Co. after his passing and expanded the production capacity once more. Innes Cameron, who went on to become the largest shareholder at Linkwood-Glenlivet, joined the company in 1902
