{"product_id":"clynelish-8-years-old-batch-2","title":"Clynelish 8 Years Old Batch #2","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis single malt was distilled at Clynelish Distillery in Brora, on the north-east coast of Sutherland in the Highlands. Clynelish is celebrated for a spirit style all of its own – waxy, coastal and full of fruit, with a weight and texture that make it a favourite with whisky enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the second batch of Thompson Bros.' 8 year old Clynelish, bottled by the independent bottler just down the coast in Dornoch under a \"Sutherland Single Malt\" label. It was matured for its full 8 years in refill hogsheads, and the bottle carries label art by KMGYEAH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHogsheads are casks of around 250 litres, often rebuilt from American oak barrels. A refill hogshead has already held Scotch at least once before, so much of the oak's sweetness and colour has been drawn out. That gentler influence lets the character of the distillery come through clearly rather than being covered by wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the casks staying in the background, this is very much a showcase for Clynelish's spirit. Thompson Bros. describe it as bright, zippy and wonderfully zesty, with a big, mouth-coating texture and the classic waxiness the distillery is loved for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAged 8 years and presented at natural cask strength of 48% ABV, natural colour and no chill filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thompson Bros.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57660819243381,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1173\/4542\/files\/clynelish-8-years-old-batch-2.jpg?v=1792596243","url":"https:\/\/aberdeenwhiskyshop.co.uk\/products\/clynelish-8-years-old-batch-2","provider":"Aberdeen Whisky Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
