Clynelish Distillery
- Brora, Scotland
About Clynelish Distillery
Located in Brora, the original Clynelish distillery was built in 1819, adjacent to the present distillery, which was constructed in 1967. Over time, ownership changed hands, and the distillery expanded around 1896, increasing production to about 580,000 litres with the addition of an extra warehouse. In the 1960s, due to the growing demand for Clynelish’s spirit in blends, a new distillery was built in 1967 to increase production. The original and new distilleries operated side-by-side as Clynelish A and Clynelish B until the older distillery closed.
Clynelish has maintained a strong connection with Johnnie Walker, with around 95% of its spirit used in Johnnie Walker blends, particularly the Gold Label Reserve.

Clynelish is a renowned distillery located in Scotland with a rich heritage in producing fine whiskies. The rarity and quality of their products makes them desirable to collectors and enthusiasts, only increasing their value over time.
Whisky typically gains value as it ages and matures in the cask. The longer it remains in the cask, the more it has the potential to develop complexity and depth of flavors. We offer cask purchase programs that allow you to select the type of cask and aging duration, providing you with control over the maturation process.
Buying a cask allows you to own a unique piece of Bladnoch’s Kirkcowan Spirit production and a part of Bladnoch’s history. As the availability of aged and limited-edition whiskies decreases over time, the scarcity of these bottles can drive up their value.
Whisky has experienced growing popularity worldwide, particularly with the rise of collectors and investors seeking alternative assets. If the demand for premium Scotch whisky remains strong or continues to increase, it could positively impact the investment potential of your Kirkcowan Spirit (Bladnoch) cask. Recently we have seen the price of a standard bottle of Bladnoch rise from £40 to £80.
