Clynelish

Clynelish Distillery is a malt whisky distillery situated at Brora on the Sutherland coast in Scotlands Highland whisky region. The original Clynelish Distillery was founded in 1819 by the Marquis of Stafford and a new Clynelish Distillery was built in 1967 close-by the original. The new distillery has been enlarged in recent years and is now a major contributor to the Johnnie Walker range of blended Scotch. Visitors are welcomed at Clynelish Distillery Visitor Centre which offers tours around the new distillery and the opportunity to view parts of the original Clynelish Distillery.

Sweet and malty with a distinct peaty note. Hints of leather and some briny/ozone notes. The palate is sweet, oily with peat and creosote flavours. Again the malty notes are present with a drying spiciness.
