Description

Clynelish whisky is closer to an Island style than other mainland malts, with a complex and fragrant nose and an agreeable, long finish that leaves a lingering fresh-fruity flavour. This 14-year-old is a less heavyweight whisky that’s deliciously drinkable and makes it an excellent aperitif.

Serving Suggestion: Clynelish works best served in a traditional whisky glass, neat or with a little water.
