- Description
- Clynelish's 1997 distillate matured for 15 years before independent bottling by Berry Bros. & Rudd, capturing the Northern Highlands distillery's characteristic waxy, oily profile. The extended maturation has developed the distillery's signature traits into greater complexity, likely featuring coastal minerality, honeyed malt, and subtle spice beneath possible sherry or bourbon cask influence. A single-cask bottling offers insight into how Clynelish's distinctive character develops over time. Suited to those seeking the distillery's essential house style in bottled form.
