Around 75% of a whisky’s flavour will develop from the cask so the team source exceptional casks from the very best vineyards, bodegas and whiskey-makers across Europe and America. Using the very best wood balances the natural character and slowly develops into extraordinary spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the Art of Maturation.

This creative combination of Port, Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry cask finishes results in a rich and fruity dram, with sweet fruit and spice balanced by Linkwood’s lighter malt character.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNose: Red currants, fruit cake, cocoa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePalate: Light malt, sweet fruit, oak spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinish: Fresh apple, vanilla, chai latte.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Murray McDavid","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56376681791867,"sku":"W-MCD-14","price":59.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0567\/6249\/9116\/files\/linkwood-9-murray-mcdavid-benchmark-single-malt-whisky-70cl-225.webp?v=1786810494","url":"https:\/\/thewhiskyroom.scot\/products\/linkwood-9-murray-mcdavid-benchmark-single-malt-whisky-70cl","provider":"The Whisky Room Scotland | Specialist Scottish Spirits \u0026 Cigar Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
