Comments:

A ‘classic’ Clynelish, waxy and fruity, with an equally classic toasty smoke note on the tongue. It’s not quite as balanced as some of the older expressions though, the wax is rather strong, and there are some winey hints that are unusual. It’s glorious whisky though, and I enjoyed this very much.

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
