Clynelish 12 Year Old Special Release 2022 is a sought-after limited edition Highland single malt from Diageo’s annual Special Releases collection, finished in Pedro Ximénez (PX) and Oloroso sherry casks—a rare style for Clynelish that adds rich sweetness and spiced depth to the distillery’s signature waxy character.
Bottled at cask strength (58.5% ABV), this collector-grade malt delivers a bold yet balanced profile: honeyed wax, orchard fruit and citrus from Clynelish meet dark fruits, sultanas, orange peel, and warming oak spice from sherry-seasoned wood. The texture is notably creamy and mouth-coating, building into a long, drying finish with lingering pepper, oak, and waxy sweetness.
