Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Clynelish known for its waxy character?

Clynelish’s distinctive waxiness comes from specific fatty acid compounds (wax esters) produced during distillation by the distillery’s unique still configuration. This waxy texture is considered one of the most desirable and distinctive qualities in the Clynelish house style, different from any other Highland distillery.
