Clynelish 1997 Homage to Caledonia 18 Year Old

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.

This whisky was distilled in July 1997 and laid to rest in single Hogshead #6934 for 18 years before being bottled in March 2016.

Bottled by Acorn Limited of Sakado, Japan.
