Clynelish 1990 Sansibar Japonism / Shinanoya

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 in 1990 and bottled from a port cask in 2020 by Sansibar for Shinanoya.
