- Description
- Distilled in 1990 and aged 35 years in a single bourbon barrel, this Clynelish represents the briny, waxy character of the distillery at full maturation and cask strength. Decades in refill wood have allowed the spirit to develop slowly, preserving its coastal Highland identity while adding subtle depth and complexity. The texture is substantial, with the high ABV delivering penetrating spice and maritime salt. Only 63 bottles were released, making this a rare window into how Clynelish evolves across four decades.
