Product details
Gordon & Macphail Connoisseurs Choice Linkwood Distillery 14 Year Old First Fill Sherry Hogshead Cask Strength is part of the renowned Connoisseurs Choice collection, a long-running series created to showcase distinctive single malts from established Scottish producers across different regions. Gordon & Macphail has used this collection to present carefully selected releases from a wide range of producers, including expressions that were historically less commonly available as individual bottlings. This 14-year-old Linkwood release was matured in a first-fill Sherry hogshead, giving the expression a rich and layered character shaped by its selected oak cask. Its cask-strength presentation further highlights the concentrated character developed during maturation.
The aroma opens with sweet vanilla fudge, followed by fresh tangerine, stewed apple, and warming nutmeg. A sweet, creamy palate develops with milk chocolate, raisin, and zesty orange, joined by roasted hazelnut, pepper, charred oak, and subtle liquorice. The medium-bodied finish carries lingering warm spice, completing a complex profile with both rich sweetness and vibrant citrus character.
