Quietly legendary and endlessly compelling, Clynelish Distillery stands on Scotland’s far northern coast producing one of the most distinctive spirits in Scotch whisky. Known for its unmistakable waxy texture, coastal restraint, and deep historical ties to Brora, Clynelish is a distillery that rewards patience, curiosity, and repeat visits to the glass. For those who value character over spectacle, this is Highland whisky at its most honest.
One bottler. Two extremes.
Little Brown Dog Clynelish 14 delivers classic waxy Highland comfort, while the High Rye Scottish Spirit explodes with bakery spices and rye heat. Tradition meets rebellion in this bold whisky comparison.

The Clynelish 18 from Diageo’s 2025 Special Releases is a vibrant, tropical, and wonderfully waxy Highland dram that showcases everything fans love about this distillery. Bursting with pineapple, honeycomb, mango, and subtle spice, it delivers complexity without losing its trademark elegance. Fairly priced within the lineup, this release stands out as one of the year’s most compelling bottles.
In todays review I will be having a look at the Clynelish 35 from Signatory Vintage. Bottled from cask number 3476 at a cask strength of 42,7% this release was limited to only 95 available bottles. Making me extremely lucky
