Clynelish Rare Malts Selection Single Malt Scotch Whisky 23 Year Old · 1974 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with copper-gold glow and mahogany-tinged edges.

Nose

Coastal wax and brine ride atop a rich sherry veil, with dried fig and raisin weaving through dark cocoa. Zesty orange rind and honeyed vanilla brighten the depth, while clove and nutmeg spice threads mingle with resinous, waxy warmth. Polished, heady, and distinctly maritime, it unfolds with quiet, enduring complexity.

Palate

Opulent and robust, this 23-year-old Clynelish floods the palate with waxy, coastal sweetness. Rich sherry fruit—dried apricot, fig and orange zest—unfolds alongside caramel, dark chocolate and espresso. Spices knit through a sturdy oak, while a maritime saline lift lingers into a long, confident finish.

Finish

Long, sherried finish with coastal warmth. Dried fruits, orange zest and cocoa unfold over waxy, maritime notes, framed by toasted oak and a hint of sea salt. The 59.1% spirit lingers with a warming pepper and enduring sweetness that softly fades.
