Clynelish 2015 Special Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Colour

Rich golden amber with sun-kissed honey notes and a waxy, coastal glow; deep bronze undertones hint at oak.

Nose

Waxen and coastal, this nose unfurls with sea-salt breeze and sun-warmed citrus. Green apple and pear rest on a bed of beeswax and barley sweetness, lifted by refined oak. Vanilla, almond and a whisper of spice mingle with a mineral, maritime core, hinting at the Highland coast and patient aging. A poised, high-strength aromatic profile that promises depth and balance.

Palate

Silky, waxy and mouth-coating, with maritime saline, lemon zest and green apple unfolding across the palate. American and European oak lend vanilla, subtle spice and resin, adding structure and depth to the coastal spirit. The 56.1% ABV delivers a warming bite that carries through a long, mineral finish.

Finish

Long, waxy and coastal, with briny sea spray and a resinous oak backbone. Citrus zest and gentle spice thread through a warm, lingering glow, evolving into a silky, mineral finish that slowly fades. The high-strength spirit primes a lasting warmth, leaving an enduring, balanced reminder of Clynelish’s maritime waxiness.
