Berry Bros & Rudd Linkwood 2010 (52,5%)

This limited-edition Linkwood exemplifies what makes single cask whiskies so special. Drawn entirely from one hogshead, it offers a singular flavor profile found nowhere else – truly a one-of-a-kind bottling. The Speyside provenance shines through in a symphony of fruity aromas and sweet malty depth. Berry Bros. & Rudd’s careful cask selection and “hands-off” approach (natural colour, no chill-filtration) mean you experience this whisky just as the distillers intended: rich, complex, and unadulterated. Enthusiasts will appreciate its balance of tradition and intensity – a whisky with classic Speyside finesse coupled with the punch of cask strength. Whether savored neat to explore its depth or with a few drops of water to unveil new layers, Linkwood 2010 Cask #301246 delivers a memorable tasting experience for the discerning malt lover.

Tasting Notes:
Nose: Soft and inviting, with ripe orchard and tropical fruits – notes of juicy peach, banana, and honeydew melon – leading the way. Hints of toasted oak and sweet malt linger in the background, drawing you in for the first sip
Palate: A vibrant fruit salad medley spreads across the palate, bursting with fresh fruit sweetness. As it develops, it makes way for zesty citrus notes – think candied orange and lemon zest – that add a lively brightness
The mouthfeel is rich and coating, with a touch of vanilla and spice emerging from the oak.
Finish: Fruity and warming, the finish is long and satisfying. Lingering notes of dried apricot and baking spices (cinnamon, nutmeg) intertwine with gentle oak tannins
A subtle spice warmth and oak dryness balance the remaining sweetness, inviting you back for another sip.
