- Description
- Clynelish's 1960s bottling of its 12-year-old expression predates the closure of the original distillery, making it a snapshot of that era's waxy, maritime character. Expect coastal influence with honeyed malt, subtle brine, and lanolin textures that speak to its Brora-era provenance. The finish is lingering and slightly oily, with a mineral quality. A historical footnote for collectors and those curious about pre-1970s Speyside distillery character.
