Cask strength, non-chill filtered, natural color.
The Bottled Realities series features four unique artworks that serve as a sharp satire of modern life. The concept explores the idea that while some may feel content and secure, they might unknowingly be living as a specimen in a bottle, observed by the world. It’s a thought-provoking reminder to question the nature of reality.
This 15-year-old Linkwood is fully matured in a Virgin Oak Hogshead. A “Virgin Hogshead” means the cask was built from completely new oak—unlike typical whisky casks that are first seasoned with bourbon to strip out the fresh-oak tannins. New oak is usually reserved for short finishing rather than long-term aging, yet this Linkwood spent the entire 15 years in Virgin Oak and somehow avoided becoming overly woody.
The result is a full-bodied and sweet spirit, packed with yogurt, honey, and mandarin-like fruit tones. It’s a rare example of new oak maturation done beautifully.
Aroma: Yogurt, creamy dairy notes, vanilla, a box of mixed candies, salted butter, figs, honey, fresh grass, and soft florals.
Palate: Rich fruitiness with kumquat, mandarin, honey, figs, and a hint of tobacco.
Finish: Figs, orange blossom, mandarin, honey, and a touch of cocoa.
700mL, 53.4% ABV.
