Two centuries of history on the north coast

Founded in 1819 in Brora, Clynelish embodies the art of coastal Highland single malt. In 1967, a modern distillery was built opposite the original, marking the beginning of a new era while preserving the DNA of a crafted and iconic whisky.

A terroir between sea and mountain

Bathed by the sea air and fed by the pure source of Clynemilton Burn, the distillery benefits from a unique natural environment. The local barley, humid climate, and mineral soil give its whiskies a fresh iodine character, a rich texture, and a subtle salinity.

Style: waxy, floral, iodized

Clynelish is renowned for its inimitable "waxy" texture. On the palate, the whisky reveals aromas of honey, citrus, white flowers, with an elegant saline finish. A unique sensory signature, full of finesse and energy.

Exceptional craftsmanship

Equipped with six stills and long fermentations in wooden vats, Clynelish preserves the aromatic richness of its distillate. The slow distillation enhances its oily and floral character, rare in the world of single malts.

A balanced production

While the majority of its production enriches the prestigious Johnnie Walker blends, Clynelish also offers single malt bottlings: 14 years, limited editions, and distillery exclusives.

Philosophy: between tradition and modernity

Faithful to its heritage while adopting sustainable techniques, Clynelish combines authenticity, innovation, and pure expression of the terroir. A whisky for connoisseurs, refined and timeless.
