- Description
- Clynelish's 26-year-old 1995 vintage, distilled in the heart of the Highlands and bottled to mark the 50th anniversary of The Whisky Exchange's founding family in the drinks trade. Married from a refill sherry butt and hogshead, it balances the distillery's signature waxy texture with orchard fruit richness from the sherry wood and fresh citrus minerality from the bourbon cask. The palate delivers layers of honeyed stone fruit, candied citrus peel, and a subtle salted butter note that lingers through a warming, medium-length finish. A masterclass in how patient maturation and thoughtful cask selection define Highland whisky at its finest.
