What do we think of this bottle of Clynelish whisky?

It is about as Clynelish as it could get, although a far cry from the older expressions. Still, a lot better than the 2022 expression in my opinion, which felt much more imbalanced compared to this one.

Where can you get Clynelish whisky by the glass in Singapore?

You can buy Clynelish whisky by the dram from The Swan Song, such as the Taste Still Clynelish 34 Year Old 1971 45.7% M&H Cask Selection or the Signatory Vintage Clynelish 33 Years Old 1973 54.3% Prestonfield.
