Discover Clynelish
A Highland Enigma, Bottled
Founded in 1819 by the Marquess of Stafford, the original Clynelish offered Highlands tenants a market for their barley and a place in whisky history. That site closed in 1968, making way for the modern distillery across the road—all while the now-legendary Brora rose beside it, fell quiet, and returned in 2021.
Today, Clynelish is one of the Four Corners of Johnnie Walker. Its spirit, known for a subtle waxiness and coastal elegance, is shaped by Nothern Highland barley and water from the Clynemilton Burn.
This is whisky with character and quiet confidence, with tropical fruits, honey, and heritage in every drop.
