Hunter Laing Old Malt Cask 25th Anniversary Linkwood 13 Year Old 2010

Hunter Laing Old Malt Cask 25th Anniversary Linkwood 13 Year Old 2010 was distilled at Linkwood Distillery in September 2010 and independently bottled by Hunter Laing in October 2023 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Old Malt Cask collection. Matured for 13 years in a single Canasta Cream Sherry butt, this Speyside single malt delivers a rich yet balanced profile of buttery shortbread, vanilla, ripe orchard fruits and delicate spice. Bottled at 50% ABV without chill filtration or added colouring, this limited release produced just 762 bottles.

Food Pairing: Aged Gouda, roasted almonds, caramelized nuts, apple crumble, buttery shortbread, crème brûlée or dark chocolate.

Tasting Notes: Buttery shortbread, vanilla, red berries, sweet apples, toasted bread and gentle warming spice, complemented by the rounded sweetness of Canasta Sherry maturation.

Nose: Rich butter shortbread, creamy vanilla and fresh red berries.

Palate: Sweet orchard apples, lightly toasted buttered bread, soft vanilla and delicate oak spice.

Finish: Long and smooth, with lingering sweetness, gentle pepper and warming spice.

Serve: Enjoy neat in a Glencairn glass to appreciate its layered sherry influence, or add a few drops of water to open up the fruit and spice notes.
