Cladach – Blended Malt Scotch Whiskey

Diageo Special Releases 2018

Blended Malt Scotch Whisky
70 cl · 57.1% vol. (cask strength)

Cladach is an exceptional blended malt from the Diageo Special Releases 2018 , composed of malt whiskies from some of Diageo's most respected distilleries: Caol Ila , Lagavulin , Oban , Talisker , Clynelish and Inchgower .

This isn't a classic blend, but a carefully crafted malt composition that combines smoke, maritime influences, and fruity elegance. Bottled at natural cask strength , without chill filtration, Cladach retains maximum intensity and structure.

The style is powerful yet layered: smoke and saltiness up front, followed by fruit, waxy notes, and spicy depth. This is a whisky that demands time and rewards.
