air Nose
the more Glenlochys I try, the more I feel it is something like the Clynelish of the West. This wonderful waxiness and distillate-derived fatness that feels also mechanical, slightly animalistic and highly mineral is like Clynelish speaking with a west highland accent to my palate. There’s also lovely fresh hints of grass and crushed green herbs along with a little punchy olive oil. With water: more clay, sheep wool oils and an impression of porridge laced with sea salt and honey. What I love most is the potency of the distillate which is still almost entirely what this whisky is about even at 29 years old
restaurant Palate
big, chewy, superbly waxy, mineral and oily with a lot of yellow flowers, salted honey, crushed flower stems, vase water, clay, ointments, putty and tea tree oil. Treads that lovely line between mechanical and rustic with this mineral and waxy profile that brings in medical stuff, garages and toolbox vibes along with it. With water: retains this wonderful fatness and richness in the mouth. Honey mixed with olive oil with a tang of seawater and filtered through sheep wool. I’d also add more clay, ink and shoe polish into the mix
timer Finish
good length, with a little white stone and exotic fruit hints in the aftertaste, more medicine and cooking oils too
