Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
하이랜드 북동부 브로라 해안의 거센 바닷바람과 클라이넬리시의 옛 자매 증류소 캐릭터가 19년을 빚었다. 잔에는 짙은 호박빛이 잠겨 있다. 코끝에는 1981 브로라 빈티지 특유의 가벼운 피트와 광택 왁스, 짠 미네랄의 향이 두드러진다. 입에서는 셰리 영향의 무화과 단맛과 짭조름한 훈연, 시트러스 껍질이 균형 있게 어우러진다. 61도의 강도가 긴 짠 왁스 여운을 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
we’re very, very close to Clynelish as we know it today here, except that this is a tad more mustardy. Other than, that we’re all on beeswax, paraffin, roasted nuts, bread crust and apple compote, with faint whiffs of iodine. Rather big notes of quince jelly arising then, as well as a little sweet wine (Maury or Rivesaltes and the likes) and dry sherry. Back on mustard and smoke at the end
restaurant Palate
a punchy, peppery and candied attack, very nervous, with quite some peat and hints of fructose (or kiwi). Gets sweeter and sweeter after that, almost sugary, with various jams (apricots, plums, orange marmalade) and quite some oak. Gets also a little bitter (grass, leaves, oak)
timer Finish
long, half-sweet, half-grassy, with rather big tannins. A tad drying
