- Description
- Clynelish 1973, bottled by Prestonfield at 33 years old and 54.3% ABV, captures the distillery's waxy, oily character from the pre-1980s era when its character-defining copper stills produced distinctly coastal Highland spirit. Extended maturation has mellowed the spirit's youthful vigor while preserving the honeyed, slightly briny notes that define classic Clynelish. For aficionados of Highland whisky archaeology and those seeking the distillery's most elusive vintages.
