Clynelish 18 Year Special Release 2025 Single Malt Scotch WhiskySingle Malt Scotch Whisky | 51.6% ABV (103.2 Proof) | 750 mL | Highlands, Scotland | Aged 18 Years | Refill Casks | Diageo Special Release 2025
Process & Profile
The Clynelish 18 Year Special Release 2025 showcases the Highland distillery’s signature waxy character through maturation exclusively in refill casks. These casks allow the spirit’s natural texture and coastal-mineral style to shine while adding subtle layers of honey, fruit, and oak. This year’s limited release incorporates a portion of distillate taken from an early cut—often associated with brighter ester-driven “pineapple” notes—resulting in a unique tropical accent not found in standard expressions. Bottled at 51.6% ABV, this edition is non-chill filtered and presented at natural strength for full aromatic clarity.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Beeswax, honeycomb, pineapple, mango, citrus zest, and coastal minerality.
Palate: Waxy and textured with apricot, pineapple, golden syrup, spice, and subtle maritime notes.
Finish: Long and elegant with toffee, warm oak spice, dried stone fruit, and mineral warmth.
What Makes It Special
Matured fully in refill casks to highlight the classic Clynelish waxy profile
Bottled at 51.6% ABV for concentrated flavor and texture
Incorporates spirit from an early “Pineapple Cut” to enhance tropical fruit esters
Part of the Diageo 2025 Special Releases collection

How to Enjoy
Enjoy neat in a tulip or Glencairn glass to allow the waxy texture and tropical esters to develop fully. A few drops of water can enhance the stone fruit and honey sweetness while softening the spice. This whisky pairs well with honey cake, almond pastries, peach tart, sea-salted caramel, or mild cheeses to complement its fruit-forward and mineral qualities.
