This bottling of an 18-year-old Clynelish by independent bottler Zanzibar Whisky was produced in the Spirits Shop Selection series. The whisky was distilled in 1996, matured in an ex-sherry cask and was bottled at cask strength in 2014.
Clynelish is a distillery near Brora, Scotland, originally founded in 1819 by George Granville Levison-Gower. The current distillery was built next door in 1967 to replace it, but both remained in operation until 1983. The old distillery was called Brora from 1969 to 1983. Today, Clynelish belongs to the Diageo group.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
