This is the oldest single malt whisky bottled at Clynelish so far bottled exclusively for Wealth Solutions. What is also unusual is the fact that this edition appeared on the market in the form of single cask and as official bottling. This means that all bottles from this edition come from one barrel – No. 16802, bottled by Diageo, the owner of Clynelish. It was an unusual event in the history of this distillery, which additionally contributes to the unique nature of the product in question.

94/100 points - Serge Valentin

„Finish: long, majestically dry, sharp, concise, precise, ashy, mineral… You may call the anti-maltoporn brigade, but that would be a little too late. My bad.”
