Clynelish Ainslie & Heilbron Brora Scotch Whisky 12 Year Old · 1964 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery-bronze highlights and a burnt-orange edge, a warm, honey-rich glow.

Nose

Sea-salt, waxy citrus and a briny coastal lift greet the nose, yielding dried fruit and a warm sherried sweetness. Almond, honey and a polished mineral edge emerge, finishing with a refined, candle-wax glow.

Palate

Silky and full on the palate, this Brora profile carries coastal waxiness with sea-salt and iodine tempered by rich sherry fruit. Raisin and fig mingle with dark chocolate, toasted almond and a touch of pepper, while a whisper of peat lingers mid-palate. The finish is long and maritime, with orange zest and leather leaving a refined, warming echo.

Finish

Long, refined finish saturated with sherry depth: prunes, fig and dark cherry melt into cocoa and toasted almond, while a coastal, waxy lift threads through. Gentle spice and leather deepen before fading to a warm, ember-soft glow.
