Tasting Notes
NOSE: Creamy top notes soon give way to light yet complex fruity and herbal aromas; subtle, understated suggestions of fruity mincemeat, tinned pears, even heather honey. Deeper still, spicy scents of oak preview a soaring intensity on the palate. A drop of water increases the herbal note, while also introducing a familiar waxy hint. PALATE: A very smooth, mouth-filling texture introduces a lively taste that is rich and wine-sweet overall, the palate well-balanced by snarling peppery, oaky spice. A little water enhances the sweetness, steers the smoothness of the texture towards waxiness and rounds the flavours, which soon give way again to spicy heat. FINISH: Quite long, chili-spiced, and appetisingly drying, with lingering pepper. A little water enhances the creamy-smooth texture and adds a little more spice.
Clynelish 12 Year Old Special Releases 2022 is a richly expressive Highland single malt Scotch whisky, bottled by Diageo as part of their prestigious Special Releases series, themed “Legends Untold – Chapter 2.” Known as The Wildcat’s Golden Gaze, this striking edition has been double matured in Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks, layering decadent sweetness and spice over Clynelish’s famously waxy, coastal character. The result is a bold and luxurious interpretation of this cult-favourite distillery.

Clynelish
Clynelish Distillery, located in Brora on the Sutherland coast within Scotland’s Highland whisky region, traces its heritage back to 1819, when the original distillery was founded for the Sutherland Estate. In 1967, a new, adjacent distillery replaced the original site and has since undergone significant expansions—now boasting six stills and serving as a key contributor to Johnnie Walker’s renowned blended Scotch portfolio. Recognized as part of the Classic Malts of Scotland, both the Clynelish 12 Year Old and the Distillers Edition epitomize the distillery’s dedication to producing characterful, high-quality single malt Scotch whisky that resonates with enthusiasts worldwide.
