This is for BB&R Clynelish 1997. I've heard so many great things about Clynelish that I decided to subject myself to the ruthless price gouging of the LCBO to procure a few bottles. This is the first of…

A review for Dun Bheagan Clynelish 22 years old, distilled 1990 and bottled in 2013, finished in port hogsheads cask 93781/93783, 798 bottles. Nose: a busy nose. Red berries, honey, wood, cream, a hint…
