Clynelish Waxen Sun Special Releases 2025 Single Malt Whisky, 700ml
Discover this vibrant expression, matured for at least 18 years in refill casks. Waxen Sun is imbued with a sweet, tropical vibrancy from a unique experiment that draws a cut of liquid early in the distillation process, when tropical flavours are prevalent. Called the ‘Pineapple Cut’, it evokes warm memories of a sun-drenched paradise in every sip.
Mild, dry and slightly cooling. Top notes of lychees and mangosteens, backed by pineapple and melon. Beneath is a chalky mineral note lending dryness.
Medium.
A creamy-smooth texture evokes Clynelish’s familiar keynote waxiness. Starts lightly sweet and slightly sharp, with tropical fruit character. Balanced and lively on the palate, with notable power and warm spiciness later.
Medium to long, spicy and warming, with a lingering, freshly fruity aftertaste. With a dash of water, it becomes sweeter and lightly spicy.
