Clynelish Flora & Fauna 1st Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky 14 Year Old
Out of stock
Flora and Fauna, nicknamed by the late whisky writer, Michael Jackson, was a themed series of distillery only single malt whisky releases. Each distillery was given a particular creature as its symbol, which is elegantly displayed on each bottle's beautiful label.
Gradually as distilleries were commercialised, closed or sold, the range of Flora and Fauna contracted, leaving these select remaining bottles collectable. Most often blended, whisky from each of these distilleries is rarely bottled as single malt, making each bottle from this collection even more rare.
The rare and elusive 1st Edition of the Clynelish 14 Year Old Flora and Fauna edition. This doesn't show up that often so it's worth buying when you can.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery glints and a warm golden sheen.
Nose
Waxen, sun-kissed citrus leads the aroma, with sea-salt brine and a touch of vanilla. Pear and green apple linger as honeyed sweetness weaves through polished oak, while a quiet spice adds graceful depth. Maritime winds and waxy elegance define this Clynelish on the nose, bright yet sophisticated.
Palate
Silky waxiness coats the palate, a honeyed citrus sweetness unfolding into orchard fruits—pear and green apple—beneath a sherry-tinted warmth. Dried fig, raisin and toasted almond add depth, with a touch of coastal salt and subtle spice. Long, creamy finish that slowly fades to warming oak and peppery length.
Finish
Long and elegant, the finish coats the palate with waxy citrus and a whisper of coastal brine. Gentle sweetness deepens into warm spice and oak, leaving a satin glow that lingers with citrus zest and honeyed fruit.
