Clynelish 1976-2002 - 26 Year Old - SMWS 26.25

LOT ID: 925


End Date : May 02 2018 07:00 PM


LOT DESCRIPTION

1 bottle Clynelish 1976 - 2002. 26 Year Old. Scotch Malt Whisky Society 26.25. One of only 130 bottles. No box. 70cl. 60.4%. Level in neck. Good condition. From the archives. ''A European oak cask has given it the colour of old, well=polished mahogany, but the nos is surprisingly vivacious for its 25 years. After a while the scents of a carpenters' shop emerge: fresh wood shavings, wood glue, teak oil. Tasting at this stage is not advised: it is hot and fiery, with white pepper and chillis. Water unfolds the true character of the whisky: wax polish, candlewax, scented smoke - think of a high church just after mass has concluded - with a ligh medical note, like a footbath in a swimming pool. The flavour is the very opposite of what it was unreduced: mouth-cooling, with some toffee in front and a light char behind. The finish is salty, long and tannic. Fit for a Cardinal!'' Original price £61 in 2002.

DISCLAIMER

Although a condition report is normally included in the Lot description, we do recommend viewing/close inspection prior to placing any bids. If this is not an option and you have questions beyond the offered description and images, please use the form below "Ask A Question" to make specific enquiries or to receive a more in-depth condition report. Otherwise, Lots will be sold as seen and described.
Please note: due to the various ages of bottles, corks and their seals, condition of liquid is at the buyer's discretion. And no claim can be lodged against failure/leakage in transit.All bottles are checked by our whisky specialists Wayne & Harrison Ormerod prior to any auction. We do not auction opened bottles so therefore all items are sealed unless stated under certain circumstances where seals were never issued by the producer.
No item is deemed new, however many items are generally in good condition. When this is not the case, we aim to mention any faults in the description. The images supplied are of the actual item you will receive. If the filling level of the liquid is not visible in the images provided, we aim to indicate the current position in the description. If the filling level is impossible to determine, such as with ceramics decanters, we will provide an overall weight of the decanter in KG. Our filling level guideline can be found here.
All information in this listing is provided to the best of our knowledge including when we chose to date the age of a bottle. If you are unhappy with the listing or believe there is an error/discrepancy, you should notify us immediately and we will address the Lot accordingly. Placing a bid confirms you have checked the Lot and are satisfied.
