Clynelish Rare Malts Selection Single Malt Scotch Whisky 24 Year Old · 1972 Vintage
Out of stock
A Clynelish single malt released as part of the Rare Malts Selection, this 24 year old was distilled in 1972 and bottled at natural cask strength after long maturation in oak.
The Rare Malts series was designed to present distilleries in a powerful, unfiltered style, often revealing a more intense character than standard bottlings. Long ageing enhances Clynelish’s distinctive profile, where waxy texture, coastal notes and subtle citrus are supported by gentle spice and mature oak, creating a complex and characterful Highland malt.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep burnished gold with pronounced amber-copper edges and a sunlit, honey-gold glow.
Nose
Wax-driven aromas of beeswax and paraffin mingle with coastal brine and sea spray, brightened by citrus zest. Subtle spice, mature oak and a candle-like warmth weave a complex, unfiltered Highland bouquet.
Palate
Waxy and coastal on the palate, with bright citrus zest riding a bold, unfiltered frame. Gentle spice unfolds over a sturdy, mature oak backbone, while the natural cask strength lends vibrancy and warmth. The finish is long and maritime, revealing layered sweetness beneath focused oak.
Finish
Long, waxy finish that clings to the palate, carrying coastal notes and citrus zest into a chorus of gentle spice. Refined oak lingers, a warm, resinous echo that persists well after the sip fades, leaving a harmonious balance of maritime brightness and mature, oak-driven depth.
