Tasting Notes
"Clynelish and sherry maturation doesn't always work, unless the integration of cask and spirit is top notch, which is the case here. Thick notes of beeswax with soft notes of red fruits in the background, there plenty of room for the classic Clynelish profile to shine. The palate is earthy, sherried and waxy with a good amount of farminess. Worthy of celebrating such an iconic distillery!"
