Clynelish 2023 Special Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky 10 Year Old

Colour

Radiant amber-gold, honey-toned and sunlit, with a warm glow that ripens toward a subtle bronze at the rim.

Nose

Soft yet impactful, this nose opens with faint waxy top notes beside mineral and maritime hints—sea air, slaked lime and salt crystals. Mid-notes brighten with dusty heather pollen; the base is light woody, earthy with a faintly scorched edge. Later, a rounder, toffee-sweet whisper of vanilla fudge emerges, gently softened by a drop of water.

Palate

Silky, waxy on the palate, delivering a robust sweetness with toffee notes and a subtle coastal saltiness. A growing peppery warmth lifts the tongue, then eases into a balanced, lasting finish. A dash of water elegantly integrates these elements.

Finish

Long, smoothly dry and spicy, with a trace of dried coconut in the aftertaste. A dash of water softens the edges while preserving length.
