A new release of one of the jewels in the crown of our range - our stunning collection of old Clynelish! Fans of the previous bottlings will be relieved to hear that this is more of the same, with an added emphasis on the spices. A gorgeous whisky in the old Highland style.

From a hogshead. We loved a sister cask bottled last year (91) so we have deep hopes here. Colour: pale gold. Nose: yes. The expected winning combo of beeswax and dried/fresh fruits. Ripe pears, plums, blood oranges (really, and there are loads of them)… And more blood oranges and pink grapefruits. Orange squash. Hints of nutmeg and ginger as well (and ginger tonic), most probably from the wood. With water: even fruitier. Orange blossom water and strawberry jam. Lychee liqueur and fresh mint. Almost extravagant. Mouth (neat): an avalanche of fruity and waxy notes. At random: oranges (just any kind), grapefruits (ditto), quinces, dried ginger, fir honey, nougat… Quite some oak in the background (green tannins – okay here.) Faint hints of wasabi and quite some pepper. Paprika. With water: keeps developing but doesn’t change directions. Dates and figs, a little salt, cardamom, green pepper… Finish: rather long, more on waxy spices – or spicy wax – and a little mustard. Comments: almost all 1972 Clynelishes – and Broras of course - are great whiskies and this is no exception. Extremely typical. 91 points.
