Portrait: What makes the Linkwood 14 year old 1st-fill Bolgheri Wine Hogsheads Vintage Signatory special

After 14 years in rare First Fill Bolgheri Wine Hogsheads the Linkwood 14 years 2010/2024 meets floral fruitiness to the dark intensity of the Tuscan top wine.
Distilled in September 2010, bottled in September 2024.

The copper-colored tubes stood for many years synonymously with affordable (entry-level) whiskies. Signatory is gradually discontinuing the series. One of the last bottlings comes from Speyside in Scotland: The Linkwood 2010/2024 matured for 14 years in 1st-fill Bolgheri Wine Hogsheads.

Whether bottlings from closed distilleries, popular single malts from distilleries that no longer sell barrels independent bottlers, or those who do not release any whiskies under their own name: Signatory Vintage has them all.
 
Well over 10,000 Casks are stored in the halls in the Highland town of Pitlochry. Selected by hand, they are bottled in our own facility. Sometimes in cask strength, sometimes brought to drinking strength, but always neither cold-filtered nor colored, they come onto the market in different series.
