Discover a richly flavoured Highland single malt with impressive age, character and excellent value. The Clynelish 1995 / 23 Year Old / Sherry Cask / Signatory for The Whisky Exchange Highland Whisky brings together classic Clynelish depth, long maturation and the influence of a carefully selected sherry cask. Bottled at 55.4% ABV, this 70cl release offers a rewarding whisky experience for those who appreciate bold flavour without stepping into the most expensive end of the market.

Distilled at Clynelish in 1995, this whisky spent 23 years maturing in a single refill sherry butt. It was bottled in March 2019 by Signatory Vintage to mark The Whisky Exchange’s 20th anniversary. The result is a distinctive, limited-feeling expression with plenty of presence in the glass and a story that makes it a memorable addition to any collection.

Why This Clynelish Offers Exceptional Value

• 23 years of maturation: Extended time in oak helps create a deeper, more rounded and layered whisky.
• Single sherry butt: Matured in one refill sherry cask, allowing the spirit to develop a focused and individual character.
• High-strength bottling: At 55.4% ABV, it delivers a full and generous flavour that can be enjoyed neat or opened with a few drops of water.
• Independent bottling: Signatory Vintage is known for showcasing individual casks and distinctive single malt profiles.
• Anniversary release: Created for The Whisky Exchange’s 20th anniversary, adding extra appeal for collectors and whisky enthusiasts.

A Rich and Generous Highland Profile

This is a sherry-led whisky with plenty of warmth and character. The first impression is rich and inviting, followed by flavours of dried fruit, dark berries and sweet oak. Notes of raisin, plum and blackberry bring depth, while gentle spice adds balance and keeps the profile lively.

Warm oak spice runs through the whisky, creating a satisfying sense of structure. The refill sherry butt gives the spirit room to shine, rather than overwhelming it with heavy cask influence. That balance makes this a great choice for drinkers who enjoy sherry-matured whisky but still want to appreciate the underlying Highland character.

At 55.4%, the whisky has enough strength to reward slow tasting. Enjoy it neat to experience its concentrated flavour, or add a small splash of water to soften the alcohol and reveal further layers. It also pairs beautifully with dark chocolate, mature cheese, dried fruit desserts or a quiet evening by the fire.

Ideal for Collectors and Special Occasions

This Clynelish is more than an everyday dram. Its 1995 vintage, long maturation and single-cask background give it a sense of occasion, while its price positioning makes it a smart alternative to more expensive prestige bottles. It is an appealing choice for anyone looking to explore older single malts without paying solely for a famous name.

The 70cl bottle also makes an excellent gift for whisky lovers who enjoy independent releases, sherry-cask maturation and well-aged Highland malts. Whether displayed in a collection or opened to celebrate a milestone, it offers both conversation value and genuine drinking pleasure.
