Insider knowledge: Clynelish 12 Year Old 1998 (Signatory) whisky is named whisky by virtue of the fact it's from Scotland. If distilled in America the spelling would be Clynelish 12 Year Old 1998 (Signatory) whiskey, as opposed to whisky.
Truly this is a great whisky to enjoy and for such a price, it is astonashing. Look it's a 12 year old single malt for a very fair price, not the world's greatest whisky but it is so worth buying. A very buttery soft and silk dram that goes down easy, a very balanced palate with just a hint of smoke. The taste keeps lingering on for a while and you can taste some of the wood that has been working. Truly pleasent.
