A gigantic arrival of wet chalk, thick beeswax, citron and mandarin, with a long, resolutely coastal finish of salt, wax, citrus peel and chalk.

SMWS 26.23 is a single malt Scotch whisky from Clynelish, a Highland distillery known for a distinctive waxy texture and coastal character. This bottling was matured for 19 years and released at natural cask strength, so it is likely to show concentrated flavour and a powerful delivery.
