- Description
- Clynelish's 1983 distillate spent 24 years in refill cask before bottling by Douglas Laing in May 2007, preserving the distillery's characteristic coastal and waxy character. The refill cask has allowed the spirit's natural complexity—layered cereal, subtle brine, and developing spice—to emerge without excessive oak influence. At 50% ABV, the texture is robust and warming with a long, evolving finish. A time capsule of Highland character for whisky collectors and those seeking authentic, uncompromised spirit.
