Whisky AGE Whisky Blues Kittenish 25 year Old No.095

The Whisky Blues No.095 “Kittenish” is a 25-year-old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky from a secret Highland distillery widely identified by specialist sources as Clynelish. Distilled on August 8, 2000 and bottled on October 8, 2025 by Taiwanese independent bottler Whisky AGE, this single-cask release came from refill hogshead #1426 and yielded 294 bottles at 52.8% ABV. Its mature Highland profile combines leather, dried grass and mandarin aromas with peach, orange, herbal notes and Clynelish’s characteristic waxy texture, followed by peppery, saline and cooling herbal notes on the finish.

Food Pairing: Pair with roast pork, smoked salmon, grilled scallops, aged Comté, herb-roasted chicken, or orange-accented dark chocolate.

Tasting Notes: A mature, waxy and coastal Highland malt combining citrus and stone fruit with dried herbs, leather, pepper and maritime salinity.

Nose: Leather, sweet dried meat and hay mingle with a smoky mineral quality and fresh mandarin citrus.

Palate: Peach and orange lead into dried herbal tea, grass and a pronounced waxy texture, with black pepper adding warmth and structure.

Finish: Lingering orange and pepper develop into sea salt, liquorice and a cooling touch of mint.

Serve: Enjoy neat in a tulip-shaped whisky glass and allow it several minutes to open. At 52.8% ABV, a small amount of water can be added to explore its fruit, wax and herbal character.
