- Description
- Clynelish's 2011 release, matured 12 years in a single first-fill bourbon barrel at 56.4% ABV, exemplifies the distillery's waxy, orchard-forward signature. The nose presents milk chocolate and candied citrus peel, with the palate delivering wine gums, toasted hazelnut, and ripe orchard fruit in measured progression. A refined Highland single malt for those who appreciate the distillery's classic character at natural cask strength.
