Douglas Laing Old Malt Cask Clynelish 1989 2006 17 Years Old 50% Cask DL REF 2457

08 August 2026
89

Nose

Typical Clynelish nose, honey, sweet, caramel, but also slightly zesty

Body

Predominantly sweet, a very tamed and balanced whisky and definitely not as spicy or hot as I would expect from a 17yo whisky

Finish

A slightly leathery note towards the end
