The new Clynelish distillery was constructed by Distillers Company Limited (DCL) in 1967, next to the old Clynelish (Brora). The difference in style between the two is great. The new Clynelish is a modern, large-scale distillery with a glass fronted still house whereas the old Clynelish (Brora) is of a traditional build with a Pagoda topped kiln. Also the character of each distilleries whisky was different with Brora being a heavily peated whisky, almost Islay like in character while Clynelish was much less peated and exhibited a hint of mustard. Official releases are a 14 year old in the Classic Malts series.

We are fortunate to offer a number of fine Clynelish single malts including Clynelish 12 Year Old (1995) - Madeira Wood Finish, Clynelish 14 Year Old, Clynelish 1992 Distillers Edition and Clynelish 2003 Carn Mor (20cl).
