Clynelish 1995 / 26 Year Old / 50th Anniversary Highland Whisky

Clynelish 1995 / 26 Year Old / 50th Anniversary Highland Whisky – Remarkable Age, Exceptional Character, Excellent Value

Discover a rare opportunity to enjoy a mature Highland single malt with genuine character and a story worth sharing. The Clynelish 1995 / 26 Year Old / 50th Anniversary Highland Whisky was distilled in 1995 and matured for 26 years before being bottled at 51.5% ABV. Created to celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Whisky Exchange co-founders’ family entering the drinks industry, this is a special release with both heritage and substance.

At 70cl, this whisky offers an impressive combination of age, strength and individuality. It is a rewarding choice for seasoned whisky drinkers, yet its balanced style makes it approachable for anyone looking to explore well-aged Scotch without moving into overly extravagant territory. Every pour brings the depth expected from a 26-year-old whisky, making it a compelling addition to a collection and a thoughtful gift for a whisky enthusiast.

A Carefully Chosen Marriage of Two Casks

This bottling was created from just two carefully selected casks: a refill sherry butt and a hogshead. Each type of cask contributes something different, allowing the final whisky to show several sides of Clynelish in one bottle.

• The refill sherry butt adds richness, warmth and generous fruit notes.
• The hogshead brings freshness, brightness and a lighter fruity lift.
• The combination creates a rounded whisky with depth, balance and excellent drinkability.

The result is a beautifully layered Highland single malt that avoids being one-dimensional. Rich flavours sit alongside fresher notes, while the distillery’s well-known waxy character gives the whisky a distinctive and satisfying finish. It is a fine example of how carefully matched casks can complement one another and create a more complete drinking experience.

Classic Clynelish Style with Extra Maturity

Clynelish is admired for its unusual waxy texture and subtle balance between richness and freshness. This 1995 vintage captures that signature style while adding the depth that comes with more than two decades of maturation. Expect a whisky that feels polished and full of character rather than heavy or difficult to enjoy.

The fruity profile makes it versatile and inviting. Its richer side provides body and warmth, while the fresher elements keep the palate lively. The waxy house character ties everything together, giving the whisky a memorable identity that stands apart from more familiar single malts.
