- Description
- Clynelish's 1983 vintage captures a pivotal moment in Highland whisky history, distilled the same year the original Brora distillery closed. Aged 16 years in ex-bourbon casks, this expression delivers the distillery's signature waxy, oily character with hints of maritime salt, heather, and dried fruit. The palate is full and rich, with subtle oak integration and a lingering coastal finish. A piece of Clynelish heritage for collectors seeking authentic 1980s Highland character.
