Clynelish Flora & Fauna Single Malt Scotch Whisky 14 Year Old · 1990 Vintage
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.
We think this is one of the best from the Flora and Fauna range and quite an early release from 2004.
A solid and savoury coastal Highland malt. Like the Highland wild cat on the label, this whisky is rarely seen in the wild!

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery highlights, a warm, honey-gold glow.
Nose
Roast beef with honey mustard; savoury Marmite-like notes, forest floor mushrooms, nut roast, waxy citrus and quince jelly.
Palate
Savoury custard notes of egg or tofu mingle with cold cuts of meat and a horseradish-like heat, intertwined with nutty burger flavors and a peppery oak finish.
Finish
Gammon crisps and cold roast beef give way to nutty oak, a wasabi kick, and a waxy quince fade.
