Linkwood 2013 8 Year Old Exclusive Selection Ink #4 | Signatory Vintage

A Single Cask Linkwood with a Second-Fill Sherry Butt Finish

Distilled at Linkwood in 2013 and bottled in 2022 by Signatory Vintage, this 8 year old Speyside single malt was released as Exclusive Selection Ink #4. Drawn from cask #112 and finished in a second-fill sherry butt, it was bottled at 52% ABV without chill filtration. The combination of youthful Linkwood spirit, concentrated strength and sherry cask influence gives this independent release a particularly expressive character.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Fresh orchard fruit and floral notes with lively spice, cereal and a touch of green apple.
• Palate: Bright and energetic, combining fresh barley, crisp apple and tangy fruit with pastry-like spice and gentle sherry richness.
• Finish: Fresh, warming and persistent, with fruit, spice and youthful malt character lingering through the finish.

About the Bottling

Released by Signatory Vintage as Exclusive Selection Ink #4, this bottling was selected for the French retailer Le Comptoir Irlandais. The whisky comes from cask #112 and received a second-fill sherry butt finish before being bottled at 52% ABV. As a retailer-exclusive single cask, it represents a more narrowly distributed expression of Linkwood than Signatory Vintage's broader releases.

About the Distillery

Linkwood has long been valued for an elegant, fruit-led Speyside spirit that has historically been highly prized for blending, while official single malt releases remain comparatively limited. Independent bottlings offer enthusiasts a broader view of the distillery, with individual casks and alternative maturation styles revealing different sides of its refined character.

Archive Notes

Please review all product images carefully. Minor cosmetic wear to labels, capsules, cartons, or presentation cases may be present due to age, long-term storage, or secondary-market sourcing.

Natural variation in fill level, packaging condition, and label ageing can occur in older releases and forms part of the character of mature collectible whisky.
