Clynelish Ainslie & Heilbron Whisky 12 Year Old

Colour

Sunlit amber with honey-gold depth and a delicate coppery glow.

Nose

Elegantly maritime and waxy, the nose opens with citrus zest, pear and honey. Sherry-cask influence adds dried fig, raisin and a hint of almond and toffee, while warm spice—cinnamon and clove—lends depth. A whisper of coastal brine and oak resin threads through, leaving a refined, long-lived aroma that promises quiet elegance in the glass.

Palate

Silky, waxy texture with citrus zest and honeyed orchard fruit. Sherry-influenced notes bring dark plum, raisin and a touch of cocoa, while almond and vanilla add bakery-soft sweetness. A whisper of sea salt lends coastal perimeter, then ginger-like spice and oak echo into a long, warm finish.

Finish

Silky, enduring finish with sherry-softened sweetness: raisin, fig and cocoa melt into waxy citrus, while a whisper of coastal brine and mineral depth lingers. Oak and spice fade slowly, leaving a polished, warm almond-tinged glow.
