help Clynelish 14 Year Old FAQ
Why do whisky drinkers call Clynelish 14 waxy?
Clynelish 14 is famous for a waxy texture and citrus-honey profile, a house character often linked to the Brora-area distillery. It is a Highland single malt bottled at 46% ABV.
Is Clynelish 14 peated like Brora?
Clynelish 14 is not a heavy peat malt in the Islay sense, though it can show a light coastal smoke or mineral edge. The historic Brora distillery next door is the name more strongly associated with peated old-style production.
Who owns the Clynelish distillery?
Clynelish is owned by Diageo and sits near Brora in Sutherland, Scotland. The modern distillery dates from the late 1960s, while the older Clynelish site became associated with Brora.
What food pairing makes sense with Clynelish 14?
Its waxy citrus, honey, and coastal notes work well with smoked salmon, roast chicken, or hard cheeses. Because it is bottled at 46% ABV, a few drops of water can open the fruit and malt without flattening it.
