Single & Single·Alter Ego CollectionLinkwood Château Larose Barrique

This is a young Speyside single malt whisky from Linkwood, bottled at a robust 52.0% ABV. Its maturation includes a first-fill Bordeaux barrique, which suggests a fuller influence from oak and red-wine cask character than a standard refill cask.

For a novice drinker, expect a balance between Linkwood’s typically fruity, malty distillery style and extra layers of spice, oak, and red-fruit richness from the wine cask. At seven years old, it is likely to show a lively, assertive profile rather than deep age-driven complexity.
