Clynelish 20 Year Old 200th Anniversary - Distillery Exclusive 70cl / 57.3%

A limited edition bottle of Clynelish 20 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky, available only from the distillery. This was matured in a combination of bodega sherry European oak and refill American oak casks. It was bottled at natural cask strength to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Clynelish distillery, founded in 1819.

This is one of 1819 bottles.

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.
