“Mackillop’s Choice” is a range of specially selected Single Malt Scotch Whiskies drawn from individual casks. Founded in 1996 by Angus Dundee Distillers (owner of the Glencadam and Tomintoul distilleries). It is named after Lorne Mackillop. Lorne Mackillop is the heir to the chief of the Mackillop Clan, which was all but wiped out by the English in the aftermath of the battle of Culloden in 1745 during the Jabobite Rebellion.
Lorne selects the casks that are bottled in the Mackillop’s Choice range. It is a range of specially selected single malt Scotch whiskies drawn from individual casks, and are bottled at either 43% or 46% alcohol, but more predominantly at their natural cask strength, without chill-filtering or the addition of any caramel colouring, which helps preserve the malts natural characteristics of aroma and taste.
This Linkwood was distilled in 1989 and has spent no less than 30 years in cask number 6715 which was a single refill Bourbon Barrel. Bottled in June 2020 with an outturn of only 256 bottles. It was bottled at 43.3% ABV and boasts no colouring or chill-filtering. Lots of classic Linkwood character here, with a smooth and supple palate complimented by subtle caramel and citrus flavour from the cask.
