This distillery by the banks of the river Lossie is every bit the idyll of a country distillery, with its woodlands and resident population of Swans. Legend has it that longtime manager Roderick Mackenzie thought the environment so important to the taste of Linkwood, he forbade the removal of spiders’ webs from the rafters in case the character were to change. Great care is still taken to maintain its high standards, though the cobwebs have been removed. Smooth and medium-bodied, Linkwood Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a hidden Speyside treasure, full of the characteristic fruit and floral scents of the region.
