- Description
- Clynelish's 1996 distillate, aged 21 years in sherry butt and bottled by Signatory, demonstrates the distillery's ability to absorb oak influence without losing its coastal character. The sherry cask has layered in dried fruits and warming spice, while Clynelish's signature fresh, orchard-forward profile cuts through cleanly. Rich and layered on the palate with a long, complex finish. A masterclass in balance for those seeking sherried Highland whisky with genuine depth.
