Malt & Rye

Cley's Malt & Rye is a bold, young single malt from the Netherlands that punches well above its four-year maturation age. This Dutch craft whisky combines traditional pot still distillation with contemporary ambition, its cask strength 58% ABV delivering intense, full-bodied character. The mixed mashbill of malt and rye creates a straightforward, characterful spirit with impressive complexity for such a youthful expression.

The nose reveals oak, dried fruit, vanilla, and creamy butterscotch, with hints of honey and tobacco leaf. The palate is syrupy and warming, layered with spice notes—cloves, nutmeg, and ginger—alongside caramel, apple crumble, and orange peel. The finish is long and warming, with persistent oak spices and a gentle bitteriness that showcases the whisky's youthful vigor and cask strength intensity.
