Clynelish reviews

Matured on a combination of refill American oak and PX/Oloroso 'seasoned' barrels.N: The first sniff is sweet on baked apples, pancake sugar (the light brown Graeffe variety), salted caramel and butte…

This Raw Cask bottling from Blackadder is already a bit older, but thanks to my buddy Manny from the Netherlands I was able to put it on the lips. It is a Clynelish distilled in 1996 and aged on a sherry…
