Отзывы в целом сходятся на узнаваемом восково-фруктовом характере Clynelish, но многие отмечают резкость, молодость и заметное влияние нового дерева. Часть текстов считает виски хорошей покупкой за свою цену, часть — что дистиллерский характер приглушён.
развернуть подробно
В отзывах часто упоминается типичная для Clynelish восковая и фруктовая основа — яблоко, груша, абрикос, апельсин, мёд, иногда сухофрукты, орехи и кожа. Некоторые тексты прямо называют этот профиль узнаваемым и приятным, а виски — хорошим по соотношению цена/качество и подходящим на каждый день. При этом неоднократно отмечается, что характер дистиллерии здесь приглушён или не полностью выражен, а виски ощущается молодым.
Основные критические замечания касаются резкости и алкогольной горячности, которые требуют добавления воды, а также влияния нового дерева (virgin oak / new wood hogshead), дающего свежую древесность, сухость и иногда горечь. Часть отзывов считает виски несбалансированным или слишком простым, часть — что он раскрывается с водой и остаётся приятным. Мнения о сложности и балансе расходятся.

A nice variety of Clynelish flavors, if only it weren't for the biting spiciness...

Fresh and fruity, spicy hot and sweet, chalky, not very complicated.with quite long and dry finish.

Tasting Clynelish Sv and Clynelish 14 yr. original bottling side-by-side. Same color, and the same fruity, waxy foundations are present. The nose is more delicate and deeper in the original bottling. The Sv leans more towards fruit, apricot marmalade, and a hint of pear from the new wood. On the palate, the Sv is harsher and rougher. The aromas from the nose are absent. Less complex. The finish returns to its fruit marmalade character. In short, it's always difficult to rate a whisky, and even more so to compare them. It's always a matter of personal taste. The original bottling seems more balanced and better finished to me. The Sv remains a very good and enjoyable choice, but if I had to choose, I'd go for the 14 yr.

Fresh wood paired with an overwhelming alcoholic harshness. The fact that it says Clynelish on the label doesn't help.

The independent bottler market is currently opening up to Clynelish with naming rights. Here, casks are being offered that don't necessarily reflect the typical Clynelish character. This is a bit of a shame if expectations are high. This bottling is one such example. Virgin oak casks don't do this Clynelish any favors either. Nevertheless, it's a nice whisky if you loosen your expectations a little.

Great value and tastes nicely fresh and fruity with not too overpowering sherry casks. Virgin oak are not my favourite casks for Scotch but it does not take this down too much.

A solid drink at a fair price. The Clynelish is recognizable thanks to its typical waxy character and plays well with the subtle sherry influences. A solid daily dram for 50 euros. Anyone expecting more will have to dig deeper into their pockets if they want the Clynelish name on it! ????
BrocksterMember Senior8302 may 2026 9:08 pm
It still seems quite young to me. A bit sharp, with a distinct dose of fresh wood, presumably from the new wood hogshead. There are a few waxy and fruity notes, but overall it's not quite balanced yet.

Excellent for the price: waxy fruit (apple&pear), bright, a bit of drying oak at the back from the new wood. Feistier than the distillery bottling (youth, heat), but once you find the right amount of water, it's really delicious.

Summary…
MaltkanzleiConnoisseur8415 apr 2026 8:47 pm
It didn't really impress me. With this cask selection, very little of the distillery character remains. If you're familiar with Clynelish, the 100 Proof is, in my opinion, somewhat disappointing, and even the low price only helps to a limited extent.

Dealer information: The Clynelish 2016/2026 from Signatory's 100 Proof Edition combines the distillery's signature waxy, maritime elegance with the spicy influences of new wood hogsheads and the fruity depth of refill Oloroso sherry casks. Notes of honey, citrus, vanilla, spice, and subtle dried fruit are underpinned by a pronounced oak spice. Bottled at 57.1% ABV, unfiltered and without added color, this Highland malt is powerful, complex, and beautifully balanced.
DirkRahdenExpert Senior8315 aug 2026 7:09 pm
Neben den für Clynelish typischen Wachsnoten finden sich würzige, bittere, süße und fruchtige Aromen sowie Eiche und Honig. Insgesamt ein gelungener Whisky, obwohl ich mir etwas mehr Sherry-Einfluss gewünscht hätte. Zweite Verkostung am 03.09.26:Wenig aromatisch-süß, dafür hauptsächlich bitter und scharf, da half auch keine Zugabe von Wasser.

The nose is convincing, the alcohol overpowering, it requires playing with water but alas cannot hold a stick to something like the Thompson Bros. Clynelishs. Spend the extra doe.

On the palate it badly needs water, quite/too hot, even with water, a bit of waxy fruit is there though, but on the palate the distillery character feels muted, less by the Oloroso than by the virgin oak, which is quite present. It's young also. OK, but not great
