Whisky Forum - Clynelish 14 Year Old

I'm looking at getting a bottle of Clynelish 14 YO having tasted some a while back.

I was wondering if anyone could give me feedback on this whisky and what others are like it

I think the Clynelish is a great dram - orange citrus, spicy and peppery with a lovely long dry smoky and a litlle salty finish. A nice malt whisky and at around Â£30 good value for a 14 year old malt.

If you like Clynelish other distilleries worth looking at would be:
Bowmore
Bruichladdich
Glen Scotia
Highland Park
Springbank
Talisker
Caol Ila

and if you want more smoke:
Ardbeg
Lagavulin
Laphroaig

Andys tasting note and recommendations are spot on, all i can add is Clynelish is a great malt and very much a must try whisky.

As Andy and Samson said above this is a good dram and worth a try.

Thanks guys

Just to run it by you,
I've come to have a bottle of Finlaggan Islay Single Malt

I know little about this bottling, can you shine a light over it for me?

Hi, i am new here but i would say Clynelish 14 Top Malt

is one of my all time favourites in its price range.
