- Description
- A 1981 Clynelish finished in oloroso sherry casks, part of Diageo's Distillers Edition vintaged series. The distillery's characteristic waxy, slightly sulphury Highland profile gains warmth and dried-fruit sweetness from the oloroso finish. The 46% ABV sits comfortably between spirit character and cask influence, creating a rounded, approachable dram. Ideal as an introduction to vintage Clynelish for those curious about the distillery's pre-modern era.
