- Description
- This 1960s bottling of Clynelish at 43% ABV comes from a period when DCL subsidiary Ainslie & Heilbron managed the distillery, predating Clynelish's modern reputation. Vintage Highland malts from this era typically show waxy, oily texture with subtle coastal influence and classic sherried notes from older cask stock. Extremely rare and historically significant for collectors of vintage Scottish whisky.
