Duncan Taylor The Octave Linkwood 31 Year Old 1989 is a well-aged Speyside single malt from the Linkwood distillery.

Independent bottler Duncan Taylor bottled it in 2020 for The Octave collection, with a total outturn of only 99 bottles. It is presented in a 700ml bottle at 52.3% ABV.

Serve: Neat, giving it a few minutes in the glass; a drop of water can open it further.
