- Description
- Clynelish's 2013 distillation matured for 12 years in a mix of decharred French and American oak hogsheads, bottled by Thompson Bros. in a limited release of 613 bottles in 2025. The Highland character centers on oily malt and waxy orchard fruit, layered with buttery pastry notes and savoury spice that builds on the palate. The texture is smooth and warming, with the French oak adding subtle wood spice to the classic Clynelish waxy profile. Ideal for those seeking the distillery's signature maritime minerality without distraction.
