Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
this one is even grainier, with again quite some ashy notes but also lots of coffee, chocolate powder and vanilla pod. We have then quite some mint and eucalyptus coming through, together with something grassy and a little tea. Let’s try it with a little water, maybe it’ll develop a little further: oh yes, now it’s much farmier (wet hay)! Not really more complex but certainly more directly enjoyable
restaurant Palate
extremely sweet and we have, again, litres of fruit liqueurs (orange and tangerine but also pineapple again, pears, apples…) Quite simple but I guess it’s the alcohol. With water: yes, it’s a good swimmer indeed. We have some great, bold marzipan now, together with the famous waxy notes, orgeat syrup, hints of mint drops and smoked tea… Very drinkable, and the finish is rather long again, a little cleaner than the 1993. Another rather typical and good Clynelish. 85 points . MUSIC – Recommended listening - I'm just in the mood for this.mp3 today. Interstellar and undeniable.
