product Details
Clynelish 1972 Gordon and MacPhail 36 Year Old 'Book of Kells' / LMDW
An exceptionally sought after bottling of Clynelish. Distilled in 1972 and aged in single refill sherry hogshead #14301 before bottling in June 2009.
Clynelish distillery as it is recognised today, was built in 1967 to replace the smaller distillery next-door, which was the original site of that name. The first distillery was closed, but later re-opened, changing its name to Brora (but that’s another story). Clynelish is part of the Diageo stable, having been taken over by DCL in 1912. Despite being an important part of the Johnnie Walker blends, it has long been bottled as a single malt.
Bottled exclusively for La Maison du Whisky by Gordon & MacPhail and bearing label art based on the medieval, illuminated manuscript for which the series is named.
