Coming Soon - 1993 Claxton's Dalswinton Series Clynelish 30 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Clynelish of this ilk is very, very rare, so no wonder it was one of the first Dalswintons to sell out at Claxton's. Situated on the North East coast of Scotland, the distillery is renowned for creating a truly unique, rich, waxy distillate. This bottling is said to be true to form, with that distinctive waxy profile still present after thirty years, yet bursting with fresh stone fruits. Importantly, it's matured in a Bourbon Barrel, which in our opinion best suits Clynelish. The image on the decanter is linked to John “The Red” Comyn. It is recorded in local folklore that, in 1306, Comyn sunk his treasure in Comyn’s Pool on the Dalswinton Estate just before meeting his death during a confrontation with Robert the Bruce, the future King of Scotland. 44.4% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

Other reviews... "A very precise, meticulous single malt....Not the waxiest of Clynelish (but certainly infinitely more waxier than your average malt). It’s very chiseled. There’s a sliver of white pepper, hints of pear, some peach and finally bitter herbs... Almost exactly what you’d hope for from a Clynelish this age. Not too much cask influence, just straight-up barley juice." - wordsofwhisky.com

Notes from the bottlers... Nose: Tablet and vanilla fudge. Waxed hard fruits. Vanilla pods. Palate: weet and herbal with a waxy-fruitiness and a mild oakiness. Finish: Hint of tobacco, fresh bread and a softly spicy aftertaste.
