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.
