Name: Linkwood Bon Hiver Speyside 10 Year Old Single Malt Whisky
Brand: Linkwood

Linkwood

70cl / 43.00% - You mean Bon Iver, like the groovy, innovative, American folk musician? No, we don't, though we understand he does have a soft spot for a certain whisky-making region of Scotland... Bon Hiver is a saying in Francais that means 'good winter', and this snuggly Speysider will certainly see to that. It's a super small batch marriage of Linkwood single malt, 30% drawn from a refill and 70% from a first-fill Pedro Ximenez sherry hogshead (as cleverly displayed on the guitar pedal-themed back label... sadly not pictured). Bottled at 10 years old, the whisky is elegantly analogue, like a great album recorded live off the studio floor, direct to 2"" reel-to-reel no chill filtration here, so it might throw a bit of a haze in your glass. Think of it like surface noise on your favourite LP, it wouldn't FEEL as good without it.
