Description and specs

Clynelish whisky is closer to an Island style than other mainland malts, with a complex and fragrant nose and an agreeable, long finish that leaves a lingering fresh-fruity flavour. This 14-year-old is a less heavyweight whisky that’s deliciously drinkable and makes it an excellent aperitif.

“There isn’t anything extraordinary about this whisky. It is perfectly ordinary, perfectly pleasant. The aroma is a mix of floral honey and a summer rain shower. Peat smoke is gentle with a hint of sea salt. The taste proceeds toward pear, apple and honeycomb cereal. Yeah yeah yeah!” – Stephanie Moreno, Distiller
