Signatory Clynelish 10 Year Old 100 Proof

Clynelish 10 Year Old 100 Proof – Signatory Vintage (2016–2026) is a distinctive Highland single malt Scotch whisky, independently bottled by Signatory Vintage as part of its acclaimed 100 Proof Edition series.

Distilled in 2016 at the renowned Clynelish Distillery in the northern Scottish Highlands and bottled in 2026, this small-batch release was matured for ten years in a combination of refill Oloroso sherry hogsheads and virgin oak hogsheads.

Clynelish is celebrated for its characteristic waxy texture, coastal freshness and complex fruit-driven spirit. This expression brings those qualities together with the rich influence of Oloroso sherry and the additional structure of virgin oak.

The refill sherry casks contribute layers of dried fruit, toasted nuts and warming spice without overwhelming the distillery's signature character, while the virgin oak introduces vanilla sweetness, toasted wood and a pleasantly firm oak backbone.

Expect aromas of honeyed malt, orange peel, orchard fruits and gentle coastal minerality, followed by a rich palate of baked apples, sultanas, caramel, toasted almonds and warming cinnamon. The finish develops into lingering waxy sweetness, oak spice and subtle maritime notes.

Bottled at 57.1% ABV, the traditional British 100 proof strength, this whisky is presented without chill filtration or added colouring, preserving its natural character and full-bodied texture.

Clynelish 10 Year Old Signatory 100 Proof offers an appealing opportunity to experience the distillery's distinctive Highland style through an independently selected combination of sherry and virgin oak maturation.

An excellent addition to collections of Clynelish single malts, Signatory Vintage independent bottlings and high-strength Highland Scotch whisky.
