The distillery was first established by the Marquis of Stafford who, after marrying into the Sutherland family, became the first Duke of Sutherland.  For a number of years after the original distillery was constructed, the quality of Clynelish whisky was so prized that only friends of the Duke were able to purchase the whisky.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n  Today — nearly two centuries after its initial founding — Clynelish Distillery continues to use many of the same ingredients, including Highlands-malted barley and water sourced from Clynemilton Burn, in crafting its single malt whisky as it did under the stewardship of the Duke of Sutherland.  Once the malted barley and water arrive at the distillery, the grains are milled and mashed before being fermented in Clynelish's wooden washbacks. While wooden washbacks are more expensive and difficult to maintain as compared to stainless steel washbacks, they absorb a portion of the heat generated during the fermentation process and thus, create a lighter and more rich whisky. After fermentation, the wash is distilled twice: first through Clynelish's copper-pot wash still and then again through its spirit still.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n The First Editions Clynelish 24 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky was distilled and then matured for 24 years in an American oak cask that was previously used to mature bourbon.  In 2012, the whisky was bottled at cask strength without the use of chill-filtration or artificial coloring.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThe whisky has an aroma of earthy minerals, malt and ripe fruits that gives way to balanced touches of oak, spices, tropical fruits and honey. The finish is full and slightly smoky, with a touch of roasted nuts, pine and spices that linger.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nOnly 90 bottles of this single malt, limited edition whisky are available in the United States.
