Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
화이트 와인빛이 잔 속에 잔잔히 잠겨 있다. 1971년 병입된 옛 클라인리쉬답게 향에서는 다른 어떤 버전보다 짙은 연기가 앞서, 재와 파라핀, 아마인유에 분필과 석회암, 감귤, 해초의 기운이 배어난다. 입에서는 처음엔 다소 엄격하게 레몬과 멘톨, 캠퍼가 깔리고 놀랍도록 피트한 캐릭터가 짭짤한 효모 향과 겹친다. 아일라를 닮으려 했던 옛 시대의 정신이 그대로 담긴 듯, 재와 해초, 그을음으로 가득한 여운이 더없이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
the smoke here is rather more dominant than in other old Clynelish, with heaps of ashes, paraffin, linseed oil, those delicately balsamic notes we’re so fond of, plus chalk, limestone, almond oil, citrus, a chalky, cementy edge, hints of spent fireworks, seaweed... Without a doubt, this is the most ‘Islay’ of the old Clynelishes, and it’s hardly surprising that the owners chose this distillery to pursue an ‘Islay-style’ whisky towards the end of the 1960s. That’s the spirit of Brora
restaurant Palate
a tad austere at first, very Old Clynelish, all on lemons, menthol, camphor and, once again, a surprisingly peaty character. At least, compared with other versions. Lovely yeasty, saline touches, and never does it bow its head
timer Finish
supremely long, salty, packed with ashes, seaweed and soot. That sootiness is a bit of a hallmark here as well
