Clynelish

Built in 1967 in a rural setting in the Northern Highlands opposite its now-silent sister distillery, Brora. Clynelish is much valued by blenders. It is one of the base spirits for the excellent Johnnie Walker Gold Label. Interestingly, the distillery building is an exact replica of Caol Ila.

Prior to the new distillery being built, the Clynelish name belonged to the distillery now known as Brora.
Clynelish 14-year-old single Highland malt is yellow gold in appearance, with a sweet, floral, slightly waxy nose, and maritime hints on the palate. The finish is dryish, with a slightly salty aftertaste. Aged in oak casks for 14 years.
