Glenglassaugh 12 Year Old Single Malt
Glenglassaugh is distilled with mineral rich spring water and nourished by the sea air that drifts through the warehouses. After maturing in a combination of bourbon, sherry and red wine casks it develops a harmonious balance of coastal richness, shaped by an abundance of land and sea. This 12 year old single malt from Glenglassaugh has sweet coastal waves on the nose of ripe apricot and fig that meld with toasted vanilla and tropical flora. The palate is candied pistachio, date and sweet fig roll into waves of morello cherry and whipped cream, infused with fresh coastal air.
Linkwood 12 Year Old Flora & Fauna
Linkwood 12 Year Old Flora & Fauna is a refined Speyside single malt whisky celebrated for its floral elegance, soft fruit character and smooth, integrated complexity. Part of Diageo’s Flora & Fauna series, this 12-year-old expression showcases the distinctive style of the Linkwood distillery, located near Elgin in the heart of Speyside. The whisky is matured in a combination of American and European oak casks and bottled at 43% ABV, with natural colour and no chill filtration, preserving its full texture and flavour. On the nose, it opens with fresh soft fruits and a hint of vanilla, followed by light cigar-box notes and a faint touch of expensive perfume. With a splash of water, the aroma evolves into carnations, lavender and a whiff of perfumed smoke. The palate is sweet and viscous, offering nutty cereal notes, orchard fruits and citrus, balanced by cedar wood and a subtle herbal dryness. The finish is aromatic and dry, with lingering notes of green sticks and dried orange peel that add depth and character. This expression is often described as a “garden of fruit and flower scents,” making it a benchmark for Speyside elegance. It’s best enjoyed neat or with a little water to unlock its layered complexity.
