Clynelish 12 Years Special Release 2022

Clynelish Aged 12 Years Special Release 2022
From the depths of dark molasses, a radiant sweet spice glows.
The Golden Eyed Guardian
As our legend goes, Clynelish was once lashed by an epic blizzard. The storm's unnatural chill put precious casks at risk of certain ruin, their contents freezing in the glacial winds. Silently and suddenly a mysterious feline creature appeared. Impervious to the bitter temperatures, it turned its hypnotic golden eyes on the casks, wrapping them in a cocoon of magical warmth. The rescued oak was transformed, with rare depths of mysterious and glowing spice, buttressed from the cold forever.
Retreating against a wild beauty in the bramble-filled woods of the highlands, Clynelish is a distillery even more remote than most. It is also the natural habitat of the elusive Scottish wildcat, Felis Sylvestris. Few of these evanescent creatures remain and rarely are they seen, but the wildcat symbol is emblazoned on the Clynelishdistillery, guarding it for all time.
Bright as a golden eye, amid the light, this Clynelish shows a spicier side to its bright fruitiness and waxy texture. The rich liquid glows with complex aromas of fruit, herbs, and deeper, scented oak spice.
The smooth texture and rich, wine-sweet flavors snarl with pepper spice after an extended secondary maturation in Pedro Ximenez/Oloroso casks. A single malt as rare and elusive as its mysterious guardian.
