Clynelish Stills

Serie: Distilleries

Technique: Acrylic on canvas

Size: 40 x 40 cm

Year: 2026

Inspired by a photography and logo of Clynelish

Clynelish has six pot stills, which were built in during renovation 2016/2017. There are three wash stills and three Spirit Stills, actually larger than the wash stills. The result is a light, fresh new make spirit with 67% alcohol.

They say it gets its 'waxiness' from the short condensers: the distillery team runs the spirit stills at lower temperatures so that the alcohol is well separated and a soft and light Highland spirit is obtained.

In this canvas I decided to integrate the Stills with the logo image of the wild cat, inspired by the Sutherland coat of arms, since the distillery was founded by Marquis of Stafford, the future Duke of Sutherland.
