Wake up Herr Botha and try and express yourself a bit better. Maybe some malts are too complex for you!

The best recomendation for this is that this is a base for a JW Gold Label

A fantastic single malt, the riot of flavours is just awesome - much better than the likes of MacAllan or Glenmorangie and other better "marketed" brands . Wish this could be made available at the duty free shops at Delhi, Bangalore and Bombay airports.

There's a lot going on in this dram. A superb aroma as you take a sip, then the flavours race about your mouth one after another in quick succession. A slightly astringent quality hits your tongue as you swallow, leaving a warming finish of chocolate, peat and woodsmoke. Talk among yourselves; I'm off to get another...

I read all of the above. Wierd mix, if you ask me. Honey, brine oranges, burst fruit, caramel, sea salt. For God's sake people. This is only a very good whiskey. Stop all these nonsense pompous descriptions which are only supposed to boost the ego of the taster!

Classic Northern Coastal malt. Pale orange colour and full sea salt nose. Starts with touch of orangey sweetness and has a medium long finish of spicy pepper. A unique malt from a treasured distillery and a superb bargain at this price.

Had this recommended by one of the fine fellows in the Whisky exchange. Robust, warm and spicy, yet with the gentle peaty, smokyness I was after. Very, very moreish: I'm having a tough time making it last, had to buy a couple of other malts to do so. For me, it knocks the socks off any other single malt in this price band I've yet tasted.

Great balance and subtle too. Illustrates the difference between Island, Speyside and Highland malts perfectly. A winner.

This scotch is delicious. Picked it up from the store blindly, wanting to try a new kind of scotch (I'm a Chivas Regal fan normally) and this has won me over.

Absolutely fantastic whisky, my auntie brought me a bottle back from scotland when they went on holiday, and the bottle was gone within about two weeks. I don't know all of the fancy words to describe it but it was the nicest I have tried so far.

This is my first attempt at a single malt. In my amateur opinion, Clynelish has a full flavor taste with zero bite or burn. I now know what all the noise is about. Though I will now try other brands, Clynelish is the name that I will remember as the single malt that got me into quality whiskey.

I was given a very generous measure of Clynelish last night. This is by far the most yummy , easily sipped, single malt I have tasted very mellow to start,followed by a flavour of burst fruit and finally the much appreciated very warming glow very moreish!!

One of the most pleasant surprises I've ever had when trying a new single malt. The stronger than expected bitterness on the finish was a bit of a surprise at first, but it contrasts brilliantly with the rounded sweetness of the initial taste, and I very quickly came to appreciate this expression on its own terms. Will no doubt appeal more to those who prefer a more full-bodied, upfront, single malt.

Tasting Notes by TF
A delightfully complex spicy and perfumed nose, with some floral and malty hints.
The palate is multi-layered too, with some slight citrus hints on a honey background with peat and delicious spices before a honey finish with a trace of brine. |

Clynelish
Built in 1967 in a rural setting in the Northern Highlands opposite its now-silent sister distillery, Brora, Clynelish has continued to produce a muscular, slightly peaty whisky much valued by blenders – it is one of the base spirits for the excellent Johnnie Walker Gold Label. Interestingly, the distillery building is an exact replica of Caol Ila.
However, prior to the new distillery being built, the Clynelish name belonged to the distillery now known as Brora...
