When the original distillery was built in 1819 by the future Duke of Sutherland, the quality of CLYNELISH whisky was so prized that only private customers were supplied. Over the years, CLYNELISH has continued to be held in high regard and today’s malt whisky gurus consistently praise its unique combination of North Highland and maritime qualities. Smooth and approachable, CLYNELISH uses un-peated malted barley to create a fruity, waxy and sea-spicy single malt that coats the mouth, differentiating it from many other Scotch distilleries across Scotland.
