Clynelish 1972 Scotch Single Malt Circle

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.

This whisky was distilled on 14th October 1972 and aged in single cask #14287. It was bottled at cask strength on 25th October 2002 by German label, Scotch Single Malt Circle.
