In 2014 you could put this Clynelish from Cadenhead under your X-mas tree, for it’s the Christmas Bottling for Belgian importer The Nectar. I recently poured it at a tasting and it was very well received…

This very pale Clynelish came from the warehouses of Signatory and was bottled a few years ago by three Flemish whisky shops: The Bonding Dram, The Single Malt Whisky Shop and Prima Vinum. It’s a single…
