- Description
- This 1971 Clynelish, aged 36 years in a refill hogshead and bottled by Douglas Laing, represents the Highland distillery at remarkable maturity. Expect light gold colour with delicate, refined flavours—maritime notes, subtle orchard fruit, and the dry, slightly waxy character typical of old refill cask maturation. The texture is silky and elegant, with considerable complexity developed over nearly four decades. This is for serious collectors pursuing rare old Highland single malts with proven pedigree.
