The Clynelish 1972 - 23 Year Old is a single malt scotch whisky, part of the Rare Malts Selection released by Diageo. Distilled in 1972 and bottled in 1995 at a cask strength of 57.1%, this particular release contributes to the legacy of a line known for showcasing lesser-known distilleries. The Clynelish distillery, located in the Highlands, is renowned for its unique character, and this bottling aligns with that tradition.
The Rare Malts Selection was a series that comprised whiskies from both operational and lost distilleries, bottled between 1995 and 2005. Selected from exceptional casks within their warehouses, these whiskies hold a reputation for quality, and the Clynelish 1972 - 23 Year Old is no exception. The cask strength of 57.1% adds to its distinctiveness, making it highly sought after by collectors and investors.
This 23-year-old Clynelish is part of a discontinued series, which enhances its value among whisky enthusiasts. Its bottling underlines a moment in whisky history when the focus was on quality and authenticity. As a natural cask strength release, it emphasizes the intrinsic quality of the Clynelish distillate without interference or modification.
In summary, the Clynelish 1972 - 23 Year Old encapsulates the ethos of the Rare Malts Selection, offering a notable addition to the collections of whisky investors and enthusiasts. Its age, cask strength, and association with the now-discontinued Rare Malts Selection underline its appeal as a collectible item, without resorting to marketing or promotional language.
