Linkwood 8Y (STR Barrique) – 50%

Claxton’s have bottled this Linkwood aged in an STR Barrique cask prior to bottling at 50% at 8 years of age. The bottling has been released in the ninth series of Claxton’s Exploration Series (EXP).

All bottlings in this series are bottled in standard round bottles, and not in the “flat” bottle type that Claxton’s normally uses. Under the foil on all the bottlings, in the “Exploration Series”, you will find a Claxton’s gold token. Once you’ve collected five tokens and sent them back to Claxton’s, you’ll get access to an exclusive Claxton’s bottling. Read more about the process here.

In addition to this 8 year old Linkwood in STR Barrique cask, from Claxton’s EXP series No 9, we have received 7 other bottlings which you will find on this page.
