- Description
- Clynelish 1972, aged 38 years and bottled in 2011 by Single Malts of Scotland at 42.1% ABV, shows the distillery's signature waxy, fruited character refined by decades in wood. Honeyed stone fruit and beeswax notes develop alongside subtle oak spice and a whisper of coastal minerality. Silky, elegant texture with a long, dry finish. A rare glimpse of Northern Highland whisky from a bygone era—best enjoyed neat to appreciate its maturity.
