Special features: The Clynelish 2016/2026 was distilled in Scotland, in the Highlands region, and matured for 10 years in a First Fill Bourbon Hogshead. This bottling comes from Brave New Spirits, an independent bottler that has been active since 2020. With an alcohol content of 55.4%, the whisky is presented at cask strength without chill filtration and without added color. The bottling is part of the Cask Masters series, which stands for special whisky interpretations, and combines the sweet aromas of the bourbon cask with typical Highland characteristics.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: The nose is dominated by sweet vanilla notes, accompanied by a subtle yet characteristic oil note and a hint of heather. Light caramel undertones and a lively, almost salty depth are also present.
• Palate: On the palate, creamy-sweet with clear cream candy and caramel notes, underpinned by a harmonious spice. The texture is slightly oily, with a fine wood note in the background.
• Finish: Medium-long and rounded with lingering vanilla sweetness that transitions into a mild, dry spice. A hint of caramel and a subtle wood note remain.
