The Story
This 18 year old Clynelish has been released by Diageo as part of the 2025 Special Releases. Nicknamed 'Waxen Sun', the whisky was matured in Refill Cask, and includes spirit from "cut point experiments".
The signature character of Clynelish Distillery is imbued with a sweet, tropical vibrancy from a unique experiment, in which a cut of the liquid is drawn early in the distillation process, when tropical flavour notes are prevalent. We call this the ‘Pineapple Cut’. Matured for at least 18 years in refill casks, notes of lush, ripe pineapple enliven the taste of wax and honey. Experience the feeling of that perfect place in the sun.
