Clynelish 14 Year Old Flora and Fauna

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.

The Clynelish single malt brand was relaunched by Diageo in 2002, after United Distillers had packaged it as part of its Flora & Fauna range for what lasted over a decade. Clynelish joined Caol Ila and Glen Ord among the Hidden Malts, seeing the old Flora & Fauna 14 year iold replaced with this slightly higher proof expression as the Clynelish core range product.
