A coastal and peaty single malt, the flagship expression from Clynelish boasts a fabulous flavour profile filled with its distinctive waxy notes. Clynelish is the successor to Brora which closed in 1983, which it is built opposite. A well rounded Highlander, though this expression is a bit less peaty than the Brora bottlings of yore.
Zesty, mandarin, tangerine. Smoky.
Quite light, great clarity. Orange, soft acidity. Dry oak. Mixed fruits, vanilla, leather.
Quite long, bitter sweetness developing, spicy oak.
I like this ,far too much! We all have different tastes but in my opinion a great mid point whisky, not as gentle as a typical speyside nor as big as a typical Island offering. Well worth a try
This is a fine single malt, complex, intense and full, with a subtle dry finish. On top of that it is uncoloured, not filtered and bottled at 46%, which is starting to be rare for a standard bottling. For all these reasons I commend Clynelish and support them with my purchases!
in the last year i've started buying and trying differents malts going from Glenfiddich 12, Glenmorangie 10,Caol ila 12,Talisker 10, Aberlour 12 double cask matured, Ardbeg 10, Singleton of dufftown and this one Clynelish 14. Simply is the best one in my opinion is that good that after trying the first glass i had to buy another bottle for the future.
Very tasty dram. After a few weeks of being opened the flavours developed beautifully to a smooth and distinctive character. Easy drinking and a perfect cracker for beginners.
I've enjoyed this whisky for many years and opened up my new bottle last evening and loved every drop. I really like the perfumy, spicy finish which lingers long. it's smooth,too, even at 46% but a dribble of water sweetens it somewhat. Would be 5 stars if it were non-chillfiltered and without the added colour.
