What makes this whisky a 'first' and a "last": This whisky is matured in experimental casks - PX/Oloroso seasoned European Oak. They are the first and last of their kind from 1996 and are therefore incredibly rare.

Why was this bottle chosen as part of the fourth release of Prima & Ultima?:  A first and last of the kind, these two experimental Pedro Ximenez/Oloroso Casks seasoned European Oak butts provide a new rich sweetness and darkness to this one of a kind Clynelish. Filled in 1996 this maturation has brought a more powerful taste to Clynelish's crisp charm and is a tribute to those unafraid to plough into a new furrow.

What are Dr Emma Walker's (Master Blender) thoughts on this bottling?:  "I have always taken a special interest in Clynelish, with its special waxy character."
