Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Rich amber-gold with deep sherry tones; medium-full body. The Oloroso finish adds visible warmth to the Highland gold base
Nose
Thick waxy sherry, chocolate and sea salt with hints of anise and clove. Christmas scents of citrus, orange candied peel, cloves, and nutmeg with hot cross buns. Sweet and tropical with pineapple emerging
Palate
Viscous waxy mouthfeel with sherry forward, dark fruit raisins and cinnamon. Marzipan, spices, and walnut oil with a silky mouthfeel. The Oloroso finish enhances the signature Clynelish waxiness rather than masking it
Finish
Long and warming with persistent sherry nuttiness, dark fruit, and the distinctive Clynelish beeswax finish. Dried spice and orange peel linger
