Linkwood Distillery
Linkwood Distillery, located near Elgin in Scotland’s Speyside region, began its journey in 1821 when Peter Brown founded it. The distillery started whisky production in 1825 after the 1823 Excise Act legalized distillation. William Brown, Peter’s son, rebuilt the distillery in 1874, enhancing its capabilities.
Linkwood whisky is known for its light, floral notes, featuring aromas of spring meadows, cut grass, and apple blossoms. This unique profile comes from clear wort, long fermentation times, and slow distillation with stills designed to maximize copper contact. The distillery uses both peated and unpeated malts to create varied flavor profiles.
Diageo owns Linkwood today and primarily produces whisky for blends like Johnnie Walker and White Horse. However, Linkwood also releases single malts, such as the 12-year-old in Diageo’s Flora & Fauna range and various independent bottlings. The distillery expanded in 1972 with the addition of a second still house to boost production capacity.
