Clynelish 1996 21 Year Old The Whisky Exchange Bottled 2018 - Signatory Vintage 70cl / 52%

A bottle of Clynelish 21 Year Old. This was distilled on 11 December 1996, matured in a single refill sherry butt, and bottled on 20 August 2018 by Signatory Vintage as part of The Un-Chillfiltered Collection. This whisky was specially bottled for The Whisky Exchange's 10th Whisky Show.

This is one of 517 bottles; it was bottled from cask number 11390.

The Clynelish distillery we know today was built in 1968 alongside the original Clynelish, which was subsequently renamed Brora. The distillery was owned by Distillers Company Limited (later United Distillers then Diageo), and the malt, known for its waxy character, has played an important role in the Johnnie Walker blends. Some 1970s vintages were bottled as part of the Rare Malt Selection in the 1990s, the official Clynelish 14 Year Old was launched in 2002, and the no-age-statement Select Reserve joined the Special Releases roster in 2014.
