Clynelish is a new distillery founded in 1967, facing her sister distillery Brora. Brora used to produce premium heavily peated malts to cover a shortage of Caol Ila production. Brora permanently stopped its production and closed in 1983.
Clynelish is located in the Northern Highlands, in a rural setting of bramble-filled woods, complete with a fully glazed still room overlooking the sea. It is also the natural habitat of the elusive Scottish wildcat, Felix Sylvestris. Few of these evanescent creatures remain, and they are rarely seen, but the symbol of the wild cat is inscribed on the Clyenlish distillery, protecting it forever.
The distillery produces a fresh, very fruity malt, most of which is used in the Johnnie Walker Gold Label blend.
