Clynelish 10 Year Old Special Release 2023

Tasting Notes

Clynelish 10 Year Old Special Release 2023 is a unique single malt scotch. Aged in ex-bourbon American Oak, it offers a powerful, vanilla-sweet flavor that transforms with a salty hint and peppery spice. While some find the initial nose a bit ethanol-heavy, patience reveals floral and biscoff notes. Though hot at first, water unlocks a basic Clynelish profile with lemon, grapefruit, and floral tea. The finish is medium, mainly lemon, with a touch of wax after adding water. It aims for rich caramel and vanilla spice, like a honeyed jazz melody, but some feel it misses the mark, lacking the signature waxy character.
