Clynelish 1996 Masterpieces 16 Year Old / TWE

Clynelish distillery as it is recognised today, was built in 1967 to replace the smaller distillery next-door, which was the original site of that name. The first distillery was closed, but later re-opened, changing its name to Brora (but that’s another story). Clynelish is part of the Diageo stable, having been taken over by DCL in 1912. Despite being an important part of the Johnnie Walker blends, it has long been bottled as a single malt.

A 16 year old Clynelish, matured in a sherry butt before being bottled by Speciality Drinks.

This is part of the Masterpieces series which also includes a Laphroaig and a Springbank.

One of 350 bottles.
