Product description
This Clynelish was also bottled for the Special Releases 2025. This year's bottlings are presented under the motto Horizons Unbound. With 18 years of maturation, the Clynelish Single Malt is the oldest of this year's special releases. After the distillery experimented with various cut points for the distillate, the Highland malt spent its entire maturation period in refill casks. Cut points are the temperature ranges at which the separation between pre-run, mid-run and post-run takes place. Aroma, Taste and alcohol content are personally checked by the stillman to recognise the transitions. A task that requires a great deal of expertise, patience and know-how. Since 2001, the spirits group has bottled an annual collection of limited edition Single Malt Whiskies from its extensive distillery portfolio. The series includes Scotch whiskies that are rarely available on the market and have been matured experimentally or are considered to be of particularly high quality overall. Whisky fans and collectors are therefore equally addressed. The whiskies are released once a year at cask strength and are characterised by exceptional maturation and in some cases old vintages, although bottlings without an age statement are also available. For some years now, each edition has had an overarching theme, which is reflected in the artistically designed labels and packaging. Previous themes have included "Legends Untold", "Elusive Expressions", "Spirited Xchange" and "The Enigma of the Casks". The special releases offer connoisseurs the opportunity to discover unique flavour profiles and one-off cask ageings.

The Distillery: Clynelish
The new Clynelish Distillery on the east coast of Scotland was only established in 1967. It is located on the same premises as the original "Old Clynelish Distillery", which in turn had been mothballed and was reopened for a short period of time under the name of "Brora".

Thomason 15.10.2025Kommentar:

Herstellerbeschreibungon 30.09.2025Aroma: Mildes Aroma mit trockenen und leicht kühlenden Fruchtnoten von tropischem Fruchtsalat, angeführt von Litschis und Mangos. Akzente von Ananas und Melone kommen hinzu, während eine kalkige Mineralnote für Abwechslung sorgt.
Geschmack: Cremig-weiche Textur mit typischer Wachsnote. Leicht süßlich und leicht säuerlich, mit einem angenehmen, sonnigen tropischen Fruchtaroma, das harmonisch integriert ist. Zum Ende hin wärmend, würziger werdend und lebendig.
Abgang: Mittellang bis lang, würzig und wärmend mit anhaltendem, frisch-fruchtigem Nachgeschmack. Ein Schuss Wasser sorgt für zusätzliche Süße und Würze, aber ohne dass der Abgang von diesen Eigenschaften überlagert wird. -
