Portrait: What makes the Linkwood 15 year old 1st-fill Sherry Hogshead #22605905 Gordon & MacPhail Connoisseurs Ch. so special.

In 1968, George Urquhart launched the Connoisseurs Choice series. As a leading member of the Gordon & MacPhail family, he created a pioneering platform for Scottish single malts - at a time when the majority of whiskies were still used in blends. 
Today, the series includes over 2,000 bottlings from almost 100 Scottish distilleries. Each one tells its own story - visible on the label with information about cask type, bottling date, alcohol content, vintage, and tasting notes.

The Linkwood 15 year old from the 1st-fill Sherry Hogshead #22605905 is an exclusive bottling from the renowned Connoisseurs Choice range from Gordon & MacPhail. Distilled in 2009 and bottled on March 4, 2025, at cask strength with a robust 54.5% ABV, this Speyside malt was allowed to mature in a select Sherry Hogshead.
The long maturation period lends it depth and complexity without losing its characteristic lightness. The influences of the sherry cask ensure a harmonious combination of spice, preserved apple, and nutty nuances.
A characterful single malt for connoisseurs and lovers of expressive cask maturations.
