Clynelish Single Malts Of Scotland Single Cask #8659 Whisky 26 Year Old · 1995 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with mahogany hues and a coppery glow.

Nose

Sherry-draped and waxy, this nose opens with dark raisin and fig, lifted by Clynelish’s coastal elegance. Orange rind, honeyed toffee and polished oak weave with subtle leather and spice, while a brisk sea breeze threads through. A luxurious, multi-layered aroma that promises depth and refinement.

Palate

Opulent, sherry-draped palate with a waxy, full-bodied texture. Dark plum and fig mingle with raisin, while orange zest and dark chocolate add bright and bitter depth. Rich spice—cinnamon and clove—drifts with leather and a whisper of coastal salt. The 50.7% spirit delivers warmth and a long, luscious finish of dried fruit, coffee, and polished oak.

Finish

Long, sherried finish that lingers with raisin, dark chocolate and toasted spice, carried by rich dark fruit. Maritime waxiness and a delicate saline tang persist, while the 50.7% ABV cushions the fade, leaving a final glow of citrus zest and warm oak.
