Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
ouch! Very butyric and very cardboardy, truly plactic-like this time, despite the rather pleasant notes of seawater and fresh almonds in the background. Highly unusual in fact, but let’s not take chances with our nostrils at 64+% and add water straight away. With water: completely changes directions, getting much more on candy sugar, rum, cigar box and even patchouli. Too bad there’s an added soapiness in the background. Very, very ‘different’. Mouth (neat – yeah, I made out my will): well, I must say it’s sort of ingestible! Sweet, waxy and lemony like many Clynelishes, with hints of salt. Now, the alcohol does mask the rest indeed. With water: it works but the result is a bit curious, what appears to be sherry indeed not mingling too well with the spirit. Something like heavily peppered wine-poached pears or something like that. It got also very, very mustardy now
timer Finish
long, a bit cleaner and better focused now, with huge citrusy notes at the “end”
