Clynelish
Clynelish Distillery is a malt whisky distillery situated at Brora on the Sutherland coast in Scotland’s Highland whisky region. The original Clynelish Distillery was founded in 1819 by the Marquis of Stafford and a new Clynelish Distillery was built in 1967 close-by the original. The new distillery has been enlarged in recent years and is now a major contributor to the Johnnie Walker range of blended Scotch. Visitors are welcomed at Clynelish Distillery Visitor Centre which offers tours around the new distillery and the opportunity to view parts of the original Clynelish Distillery.
Sweet and malty with a distinct peaty note. Hints of leather and some briny/ozone notes. The palate is sweet, oily with peat and creosote flavours. Again the malty notes are present with a drying spiciness.

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.
