Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose:Â floral, waxy and honeyed with soft fruits; candied orange, persimmons and cantaloupe; fresh and doughy, French bakery notes; juicy malt; lemon and lime zest and subtle spices; muddled mint.
Palate:Â thick, honeyed and very waxy--classic Clynelish; still doughy with, more French bakery notes; decadent, bags of honey, baklava and agave nectar; the waxy tones build coating the palate with a floral top note; the fruits are varied, loads of citrus, melons, and baked white fruits; delicate oak spices towards the back of the palate with soft toasted oak.
Finish: floral, honeyed and waxy; long and coating; fading waves of decadence, fruit and oak spices; minty and fresh.
Comment: classic young Clynelish with a floral-waxy profile accented by thick honey and layers of soft fruit; no heat on either the nose or the palate; an all-round beauty!

Although the current Clynelish distillery was founded in 1967, it's origin can be traced to it's now demolished sister distillery, Brora. Founded in 1819 it was originally known as Clynelish. Interestingly in the 18thC. it was held in such high regard that the whisky was privately sold. Today the majority of Clynelish is destined for blending, with only a small amount for bottling as single malt.
Producer Description
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.
