This Clynelish 14 Year from 2016 has that wonderful viscous waxiness from just before whatever they tweaked to make it just a bit thinner. Yum. Sláinte! I went through this one fast! A very well balanced, complex, approachable single malt. I’d be glad to always have it on my shelf. Sláinte! New notes on a 2014 HIGH WEST RENDEZVOUS RYE. Tap that 🔗 IN BIO for deets on this blend of 6 and 16-year ryes. They literally don’t make’m like this anymore. Cheers!

Now also on THREADS and BLUESKY 🧵🦋🥃
