Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
같은 캐스크 조합으로 2025년에 56.5도로 병입된 12년 제품이며, 노즈는 초반에 상당히 닫혀 있다. 시간을 두어도 복합성이 크게 늘지 않고 바닐라 크림과 터키시 딜라이트, 미라벨 잼 정도가 반복해 드러난다. 팰럿은 강하고 달지만 구성이 단순한 편으로 옥수수 시럽과 사과주, 캐러멜의 곡물 단맛이 중심을 이룬다. 물을 더해도 방향이 크게 바뀌지 않아 배치 간 편차가 그대로 노출된다. 피니시는 짧지 않으나 시리얼 계열의 단맛이 끝까지 남는다.
AITasting Notes

rather closed again at first nosing, grainier and a little more vegetal. Vanilla crème, Turkish delights, mirabelle jam… Juts like its younger brother, it needs quite some breathing, it appears. Well, quite strangely, it does not get any more complex after a good quarter of an hour, juts mashier and grainier, with some muesli, broiled cereals, caramel rice… Too bad

it seems it’s rather simple again. Sweet and powerful, very grainy and cereally, with some corn syrup, sweet cider, caramel, cheap praline… And that’s all, folks. Let’s ad a few drops of water and see whether it improves or not… Well, no, it doesn’t. Always these sweetish cereally notes, with some industrial vanilla crème (dusty, at best). Just uninteresting – thank god we know there are some great Teaniniches around. 76 points . MUSIC – Recommended listening - Hey, let's play a little game now. It's very simple: you win if you manage to stay completely immobile on your chair while listening to the great Maceo Parker doing Hats off to Harry.mp3 . Okay, you loose. Now, please buy Maceo's music! CRAZY WHISKY NEWS: OLDEST BOTTLE OF CLYNELISH EVER FETCHES MAD PRICES ON EBAY - Where will the craze stop? Last week, a bottle of 1818 Clynelish sold for £50,000.01 on eBay, setting a new world record. We could get hold of both the (happy) seller, Mr. Pippo Monihasnohoda, from Rome and the (even happier) buyer, Himako Mpulsivekolekta, from Tokyo, Japan. Pippo told us: "Ma, I found three cases ove thatte olde Clinnelishe in an old oenoteca in Sicilia last summer. It ise now closed ande the ownere disappeared but I amme very happy, I wanted to keep alle bottles butte I am not a collectore so I decided to selle one bottiglia to whiskey lovers. Maybe I shalle selle anothere one later bicoz I only collecte Macallan." Hmm, a little confusing, I must say... As for Himako, he couldn't hide his joy: "Me very very very happy! Me buying other bottles. Me love Clynelish. Me says thank you Mr Monihasnohoda!" And when we asked him whether he'd open the bottle, Himako answered: "Me already open. Very good. Very punchy, with a lot aniseed, getting cloudy with water but good. Me love it!" Himako sent us a larger picture of his new treasure, which you can admire here . Thanks, Himako!
