Distillery Information

The Linkwood distillery sits in Elgin, drawing its water from the springs of Millbuies Loch. Next to the distillery is a large and rather beautiful reservoir that plays host to a variety of local wildlife including ducks and swans, the latter can be seen gracing the label of the twelve-year-old bottling. Linkwood is home to two stillhouses, Linkwood A, which is currently not in use, houses the two original stills, and Linkwood B, in which a further four stills operate. The distillery has a capacity of 2.24 million litres per annum and the majority of the whisky produced is used for blending, notably in Johnnie Walker. Thanks to Diageo there have been, of late, several single malt whiskies released from Linkwood. In 2008, three twenty-six-year-olds were launched, notable for their 50cl bottles and having spent the last fourteen years of their maturation in either rum, red wine or port casks.
