The Linkwood Distillery is located at Elgin, in the Speyside region of Scotland and is owned by the drinks giant Diageo. The distillery was built in 1821 by Peter Brown with two stills, and started production in 1825. Linkwood has long been prized by blenders as the vast majority of production goes into Diageo’s Johnnie Walker and White Horse blends.
Well known to whisky connoisseurs, Linkwood is most commonly seen as an independent bottling as owners Diageo only rarely issue official releases and when they do, these expressions instantly sell out as they’re highly sort after by enthusiasts world-wide.
