Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Rich gold with warm amber highlights; full body. The multi-cask vatting and cask-strength bottling create a rich, viscous appearance
Nose
Thick and dense with lemons, mangoes, lime, kiwis, passion fruits, and heather honey. Water reveals honey, pollen, nectar, beeswax, and delicate vanilla. Trademark Clynelish waxiness in full effect
Palate
Soft and elegant arrival with near-perfect texture. Honey, candy, ripe apples, orange marmalade, lemons, and lime. With water, hints of smoke and vanilla merge with saltiness. The signature waxiness is beautifully concentrated at cask strength
Finish
Long with tender bitterness, smokiness integrating with honey sweetness and an embracing minty backdrop. The waxiness coats the palate and lingers for minutes
