- Description
- Clynelish's 1995 vintage, matured for 25 years in sherry cask and bottled at 53.5% ABV by Belgian importer The Nectar, represents the Highland distillery at its most developed and integrated. Leather, tobacco, and honeycomb on the nose give way to chocolate, earthy vanilla, tart plum, black tea, and peppery oak across the palate—a palimpsest of flavours built over decades. The texture is warm and layered, with the sherry cask providing structure without dominating. A whisky for contemplative moments with time to explore its nuances.
