Clynelish The Single Malts Of Scotland Single Cask #10201 Whisky 23 Year Old · 1995 Vintage

Colour

Deep golden amber with burnished copper highlights and a luminous honey-gold core, radiating warm, sun-kissed depth.

Nose

Waxen and maritime, this Clynelish opens with lemon zest and ripe pear layered over honeyed vanilla. A coastal breeze carries sea-salt and a touch of brine, while toasted oak and a hint of spice add depth. At cask strength the aroma is bold yet refined, unfolding waxy richness, bright citrus, and a lingering coastal polish that speaks to its Single Cask origin.

Palate

Uncompromising on the palate, this cask-strength Clynelish coats the mouth with an oily, waxy texture. Bright citrus zest and juicy pears mingle with honey, while a maritime brine threads through rich oak. Spices unfold—nutmeg, clove—leading to a long, warming finish of toffee, almond paste and a kiss of salted stone fruit.

Finish

Long and maritime, the finish glides with waxy citrus, toasted oak and a honeyed sweetness. It drifts into warm spice, then gradually fades to a delicate mineral glow and a final, refined warmth that lingers elegantly.
