This is an unusual Clynelish, with just a slight trace of waxiness: the PX and Oloroso finishing casks have added sweetness and spiciness, developing the distillery character in an interesting way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA welcome return for Clynelish to the Diageo Special Releases, this 12 year old whisky takes the classic bourbon-maturation of Clynelish and then adds a finish in PX and oloroso casks to give extra layers of rich and dark fruit. A very different and delicious take on the distillery's waxy and fruity character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNose : Creamy top notes soon give way to light yet complex fruity and herbal aromas; subtle, understated suggestions of fruity mincemeat, tinned pears, even heather honey. Deeper still, spicy scents of oak preview a soaring intensity on the palate. A drop of water increases the herbal note, while also introducing a familiar waxy hint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePalate : A very smooth, mouth-filling texture introduces a lively taste that is rich and wine-sweet overall, the palate well-balanced by snarling peppery, oaky spice. A little water enhances the sweetness, steers the smoothness of the texture towards waxiness and rounds the flavours, which soon give way again to spicy heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinish : Quite long, chili-spiced, and appetisingly drying, with lingering pepper. A little water enhances the creamy- smooth texture and adds a little more spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e58.5% ABV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e70cl\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clynelish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52785997414738,"sku":"5000281070810","price":145.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1052\/9737\/9666\/files\/3960284142.jpg?v=1771935238","url":"https:\/\/whiskysituation.co.uk\/products\/clynelish-12-year-old-diageo-special-releases-highland-single-malt-scotch-whisky-2022-70cl","provider":"Whisky Situation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
