Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

this is a much waxier and ‘Highlands’ version. Wet stones, linseed oil, green apples, grapefruits, fresh walnuts, fusel oil, shoe polish… Wonderful austerity in this one. With water: more of the same. Something ‘old Clynelish’, quite remarkable

restaurant Palate

we’re closer to the 22yo now but there’s more oak and, again, more phenolic notes. Cough medicine, various honeys, lemon marmalade, herbal liqueur… Yee-hah! (err, excuse me). With water: perfection, really. Big, phenolic, wonderfully grassy, mineral, lemony… Another ‘Riesling malt’ – and god knows we love great Rieslings

timer Finish

even more Riesling-alike
