Linkwood 12 Year Flora & Fauna Single Speyside Malt Whisky 43%

Linkwood is located in Elgin, Speyside and primarily makes whisky that is used in blends such as Johnnie Walker and White Horse, but sells to many others. They produce single malt under their own name in addition to this and a rare special release. Beautiful floral nose. Also a nice texture with marzipan and almond notes. Nicely tart and quite fresh.

In 1992, the then United Distillers (now Diageo, the world's largest spirits company) started the Flora & Fauna series, which at the time consisted of 26 different versions of Scotch Single Malt whisky to show the vast differences in Scotland's whisky regions. Bottled at 43% for most of the bottles, but some were also bottled at Cask Strength, i.e. full cask strength, and some versions also came in wooden boxes.
