Clynelish

Clynelish is one of the few distilleries still renowned for its ‘waxy’ style—a result of a deliberate process to retain oily compounds during distillation. Although designed for a fruity profile, its character comes from these retained oils, evoking candle wax or waxed jackets.

Founded in 1819 and expanded in the 1960s with a second distillery (later Brora), Clynelish is now famous for its 14 Year Old single malt. It contributes significantly to Johnnie Walker Gold Label and offers a distinctive citrusy, mineral, and waxy profile.
