- Description
- Clynelish's briny, waxy character finds expression in this refill Sherry butt, distilled September 1995 and bottled at cask strength in March 2016 by Signatory. The Sherry influence adds dried fruit and subtle spice to the distillery's coastal minerality, while the refill cask preserves the spirit's core waxy, salty character without overwhelming oak. The result balances Clynelish's maritime identity with gentle sherry sweetness. A sophisticated choice for those seeking Sherry influence that respects the distillery's identity.
