Christmas Malt 2019 (The Whisky Exchange)
As part of an ongoing tradition, The Whisky Exchange selected a special whisky for Christmas. For 2019 it is a refined 10-year-old single malt from Linkwood distillery, matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks. It is bottled at cask strength 54,2% 2696 bottles.
I will review it next week. In the meantime: available only from The Whisky Exchange
