- Description
- Clynelish's 1996 distillate matured for 21 years with a two-stage cask program—initial aging in bourbon hogshead followed by a Koval bourbon cask finish—before bottling at 50% ABV for Murray McDavid's Mission Gold range in 2018. The Highland single malt balances the distillery's classic honeyed character with subtle oak influence.
