Clynelish 14 Year Old

Clynelish

Clynelish distillery is near the town of Brora in the Scottish Highlands. It was built in 1967 to replace the old Clynelish distillery that is now called the Brora distillery. The original distillery was built in 1819 by the 1st Duke of Sutherland. The Duke was the wealthiest man in the United Kingdom at the time and was one of the most controversial people in Scottish history. The new distillery was built just across the road from the old distillery. Being three times lager than before, Clynelish created an exact replica of the stills that were in the old distillery to make sure the spirit was as close as possible to the spirit produced before. Clynelish is currently owned by Diageo. Clynelish has three wash stills and three spirit stills that produce around 4,500,000 litres a year. House Style: Seaweed, spicy. Best with a roast-beef sandwich.

Palate: Soft , initial salt from coastal malt , slight smoke , touch of powdered sugar then becoming zesty, juicy oak. Corriander Spice.
Finish: Rich Leather , lingering sherry, citrus orange and lemon peel. Long lasting, cracking spice.
