HKW "Artist Series Zoie Lam" Linkwood 2010 11 Years Refill Sherry Butt, Speyside Scottish Whisky 700ml

Linkwood is perhaps Scotland's most law-abiding whisky distillery! Before 1823, there was a heavy tax on whisky producers thus many distilleries chose to operate without a licence. Built in 1821, Linkwood did not play around with the rules and only began production after officially registering in 1824. The early distillery had only a pair of small distillates until 1972 when a new distillery was built next to the plant. The old site was renamed Linkwood A and used for R&D while the new plant was called Linkwood B. This lasted until 2012 when the facility was again reconstructed.

Linkwood is easily identified by whisky aficionados for its particularly plump and rounded character which comes from its long fermentation and distillation periods. It has always been a main component of the Johnnie Walker blended whiskies. There are low quantities left for the Linkwood’s original bottling which means even far fewer for independent bottlers to capture this special Speyside spirit.

Our HK Art Heroes Series I presents one of these rare finds in a Linkwood 2010 single malt gently matured in Sherry cask for 11 years. The featured bottle artwork is a collaboration with Zoie Lam, a celebrated local illustrator, fashion designer and stylist. It displays the colourful and happy world of Zlism amongst some of Hong Kong’s famous landmarks. This vibrant whisky will bring out just as much joy for anyone willing to try!
