Linkwood 43 Year Old 1939 Gordon and MacPhail

Linkwood 14 Year Old 1982 Wilson & Morgan

Wilson & Morgan bottled this Linkwood already in 1997. The bottle can no longer be found, I am afraid. I tried a more recent Linkwood from the same bottler not too long ago.

Some vanilla, but apart from that,...
