Clynelish 1983 Dun Bheagan 21 Year Old

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 1925. Despite being an important part of the Johnnie Walker blends, it has long been bottled as a single malt.

A 1983 vintage bottling of Clynelish single malt from William Maxwell & Co, part of their Dun Bheagan series.

Aged 21 years in two hogsheads, #2552-3, which yielded 516 bottles.
