The Clynelish 10 Year Old Special Release 2023 is a single malt Scotch whisky, matured exclusively in first-fill ex-bourbon American Oak casks for a full decade. Bottled at a natural cask strength of 57.5% ABV, this expression is a luxurious and sophisticated malt that showcases the classic American jazz-inspired honeyed flavors and smooth, waxy textures of Clynelish. It captures the essence of the Highlands region and is a proud representation of the Clynelish distillery. The aroma of this whisky is introduced by maritime notes, which then become sweeter and rounder with hints of caramel, vanilla bean, and honeycomb. The palate sings with powerful vanilla sweetness and spice, as well as subtle notes of salt and pepper that lead to a long, spicy finish. The whisky's signature honey and waxy character are at their finest, and the oily texture is complemented by the bujny aroma of citrus rind, orange, and cherries in liquor. Master blender Stuart Morrison has skillfully allowed Clynelish to truly be itself, resulting in a nose that is textbook waxy, with fruity touches of white grapes, unripe bananas, and zesty lemons, along with vanilla-flavored sweets, a hint of wet pebbles, and a whiff of sea breeze. The taste is somewhat waxy but not extremely so, with fruits taking center stage, almost to a tropical degree. This is underpinned by a honey-esque sweetness, peppery spice, walnuts, and a pinch of salt. The finish is medium, sweet, and waxy with some coconut shavings. Overall, the Clynelish 10 Year Old Special Release 2023 is a richly composed, subtle example of Clynelish that is elegantly imbued with rich caramel sweetness and vanilla spice while retaining excellent distillery character. It is a luxurious and sophisticated malt that is sure to delight whisky enthusiasts and collectors alike.
