Why Choose Clynelish 1997 / 23 Year Old / Milroy’s Highland Whisky?

• 23 years of maturation: Extended ageing brings added richness, balance, and complexity.
• Single hogshead character: A focused style with plenty of individuality and natural depth.
• Strong yet flexible presentation: Bottled at 53.3% ABV for a full-flavoured pour that can also be softened with a little water.
• Distinctive Highland profile: Waxy texture, floral aromas, bright citrus, and gentle tea notes create a memorable combination.
• Excellent value for its age: A 23-year-old whisky offering impressive maturity at a more approachable price than many comparable vintage releases.

Aroma and Flavour

The first impression is elegant and inviting, with soft floral notes and the distinctive waxy character often associated with Clynelish. On the palate, Assam tea brings a gentle dryness and depth, balanced by the lively sweetness of tangerines. These citrus notes add brightness without overpowering the whisky’s mature character. A delicate hint of edelweiss brings an unusual floral touch, helping this expression stand apart from more familiar single malts.

The higher bottling strength gives the whisky energy and body, allowing its flavours to develop gradually in the glass. Try it neat first to appreciate its full concentration, then add a few drops of water if desired. This can open the whisky further, revealing softer aromas and a more relaxed texture. Whether enjoyed slowly after dinner or shared during a tasting, it delivers a polished experience without demanding a premium collector’s budget.

Made for Curious Whisky Drinkers

This Clynelish is a smart choice for anyone looking to explore mature Scotch whisky while keeping value in mind. It has enough depth to interest experienced drinkers, yet its citrus and floral notes make it approachable for those beginning to discover older single malts. The combination of age, strength, and independent bottling gives it a strong presence in any whisky collection.

The 70cl bottle also makes it well suited to gifting. Its 1997 vintage and 23-year-old age statement add a sense of occasion, while the distinctive flavour profile gives the recipient something genuinely interesting to explore. It is a refined alternative to predictable gift choices and a rewarding bottle to open when the moment calls for something special.
