Clynelish 1993 Prima and Ultima 26 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 1912. Despite being an important part of the Johnnie Walker blends, it has long been bottled as a single malt.

This was part of the inaugural Prima & Ultima range from Diageo, launched in 2020. Meaning "the first and last," the series featured eight whiskies selected by Dr Jim Beveridge OBE, with 238 complete sets made available.

Bottled in December 2019, this 1993 vintage Clynelish was drawn from four American oak refill hogsheads.

One of 941 bottles.
