Linkwood 14 Year Old 2011 – Signatory Vintage 100 Proof Edition #72

Linkwood 14 Year Old 2011 is part of the acclaimed 100 Proof Edition series — a collection celebrated for delivering natural presentation whiskies at exceptional value and full flavour. Distilled in 2011 and bottled in 2026, this Speyside single malt showcases the beautifully refined and fruit-driven spirit character for which Linkwood is known.

Matured in a combination of first-fill Oloroso sherry hogsheads and refill hogsheads, the whisky balances rich sherry influence with the distillery’s naturally floral and orchard-fruit style. Bottled at the traditional 100 proof (57.1% ABV), non-chill filtered and with natural colour, it offers depth, texture, and intensity while remaining remarkably elegant and drinkable.

The Signatory 100 Proof range has developed a strong following among whisky enthusiasts for combining high-strength bottlings, quality casks, and accessible pricing — many whisky fans consider it one of the best-value modern independent bottling series. 

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Sweet malt, baked apple, sultanas, toffee, cocoa, and polished oak with delicate floral notes.

Palate: Rich and warming, revealing stewed orchard fruits, dark sugar, milk chocolate, cinnamon spice, toasted nuts, and sherried depth.

Finish: Long and satisfying, with lingering fruitcake, oak spice, orange zest, and clean malty sweetness.
