About this Càrn Mòr whisky
This Linkwood 8 Year Old from Càrn Mòr is part of the Strictly Limited series by Morrison's Distillers, a range that focuses on distinctive cask-driven expressions while preserving distillery character.
Distilled in 2017 and bottled in 2026, this Speyside single malt has been aged in a Tokaji cask - a great choice. Tokaji, the famed Hungarian dessert wine, is known for its honeyed sweetness, apricot richness, and vibrant acidity. When used in whisky maturation, it can bring layers of dried fruit, tropical notes, and a gentle, vinous lift that feels both exotic and refined.
Linkwood’s spirit is naturally elegant and fruity, often showcasing orchard notes and a delicate floral edge. Here, the Tokaji influence amplifies that fruit-forward profile rather than overpowering it. The result is a whisky that feels youthful and energetic, yet surprisingly layered for its age.
On the nose and palate, expect juicy sultanas and ripe tropical fruits, with a brightness that keeps the sweetness lively and fresh. The finish lingers pleasantly, carrying that fruit richness forward with a subtle wine-kissed warmth.
Bottled at 51.2% ABV, with natural colour and no chill filtration, this release retains texture and intensity while remaining highly approachable. With just 226 bottles available, it offers a rare opportunity to explore Linkwood through a less conventional cask lens, ideal for those who enjoy fruit-led Speyside malts with a slightly adventurous twist.
