Clynelish Cooper's Choice - Single Cask #3119 Whisky 15 Year Old · 1997 Vintage

Colour

Burnished amber with coppery highlights and mahogany undertones.

Nose

Opulent sherry-forward nose with dark fig and raisin, streaks of chocolate and toffee, and a waxy, citrus-laced core. A whisper of sea-salt and toasted almond lends maritime lift, rounded by warm spice and oak.

Palate

Silky and full-bodied, this Clynelish coats the tongue with a waxy, slightly oily texture. Ex-sherry cask depth delivers dark fig and prune with orange zest, chocolate and toffee, all threaded by toasted almond. Spices—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—lift the profile over honeyed barley and vanilla. A whisper of coastal salinity lingers, and the finish remains long, warming, and gently oaked with fruit-forward warmth.

Finish

Long, elegant finish with sherry-coated sweetness. Dried fig and raisin linger, brightened by orange zest and a hint of cocoa. A waxy, coastal core stays present, drying slowly as delicate spice—cinnamon and clove—emerges and fades into a refined nuttiness and a whisper of salt, leaving the palate poised and satisfied.
