Linkwood Distillery, located in the heart of Speyside, was founded in 1821 by Peter Brown and is renowned for producing elegant, delicately floral single malts, often with hints of honey and orchard fruits. Fresh and herbaceous with floral, grassy and hints of barley with gentle oak notes. The palate opens up with soft caramel and butterscotch, before offering delicate vegetal hints and a touch of classic Linkwood bitterness. Long, dry and pleasantly lingering finish with a subtle lasting fruitiness.

Linkwood takes a traditional approach to whisky-making, using long fermentation periods and wooden washbacks to enhance the spirit’s complexity. Though much of its production is used in premium blends, its independent bottlings have gained a loyal following for their subtle yet refined character, making Linkwood a hidden gem among Speyside distilleries. 

Historically, Linkwood Distillery has avoided any change in the distillery setup for fear it would change the way its whisky tasted! For many years, the distillery famously wouldn’t even allow spiders’ webs to be dusted away or for the distillery manager to cut the grass around the buildings, believing the change might affect the whisky’s character!

This commitment to tradition has contributed to Linkwood’s reputation for producing consistently premium whisky.

About the Producer

Born in 2025, Epic Drams celebrates the authenticity and diversity found in single cask Scottish Whisky. Founded by Euan Rice, we believe whisky is primarily made to be appreciated and enjoyed, not collected and left gathering dust on a shelf as an investment (although that is also a very worthwhile objective), too expensive to drink.

Our main aim therefore is to provide exceptional, unique single cask whisky at an affordable price point, to encourage appreciation and enjoyment of the whisky in a glass rather than in a bottle in a display cabinet.

Every cask we source is a one-off, containing a never-to-be-repeated whisky just waiting to be discovered, opened, appreciated and enjoyed.
