About this bottle
James Ainslie & Heilbron (Glasgow based blending company) bought the distillery in 1896 and got to work rebuilding the distillery, the floor maltings and kiln that were installed at this time still remain. In 1967 a new building erected just across from the original Clynelish distillery and once completed the former Clynelish was then named Brora.
A fascinating distillery and a rare must-have bottle. Imported for the Italian market by Meregalli.

One of the most stylish distilleries within the Diageo portfolio, Clynelish has long enjoyed favouritism amongst whisky enthusiasts. Its 14 year old expression is rightfully regarded as a classic with its distinctive waxy undertones. In recent times, Diageo has realised the potential of the distillery and upgraded the visitor centre in 2021 along with its first refurbishment and upgrade in 2017. For too long, it has lived within the shadow of its illustrious neighbour, Brora, which has returned to production in 2021. Established in 1967, it has consistently supplied the Johnnie Walker brand, whilst enjoying the occasional special release. Recently, the distillery has added an exclusive release and the option to bottle your own. Underlining the fact that at last, we’ll be seeing much more of the whisky itself.
