Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 받아들면 1971년에 병입된 클라이넬리시 12년의 옅은 황금빛이 잔에 깊게 자리를 잡는다. 잔을 코앞에 가져가면 옛 하이랜드 증류소답게 밀랍과 마른 풀, 약한 시트러스 향이 차례로 올라온다. 한 모금을 입에 흘리면 56.9도의 강한 출력이 혀 위에서 풀리고 에인즐리 앤 헤일브론다운 부드러운 곡물 단맛과 가는 광택감이 입안을 채운다. 삼킨 자리에는 옛 클라이넬리시 특유의 왁시한 잔향이 길게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
similar territories, but this one’s fatter, oilier, and rather more herbal (fern). It’s also greasier, with some suet, even some marrow, cold cuts, some camphor, some menthol… It was an even bigger distillate, but remember this one was rather distilled around the mid 1950s, which was before the distillery was converted to steam heating (1961). So this was direct-fired using coal, albeit probably not coal from the old Brora mine anymore. Brilliant, please call the Anti-Maltoporn Brigade immediately! With water: paraffin, fresh butter, linseed oil, new fabric, and lemon juice
restaurant Palate
best whisky made by men and women, period. Right, one of them. Huge brine, lime, soot, eucalyptus, grapefruits, paraffin and iodine, all that in perfect synch. As they say, this is like Captain Beefheart’s Magic Band after a bottle of bourbon. Each. With water: sweet Vishnu! Should Ettore Bugatti, or Enzo Ferrari have been distillers rather than carmakers, this is the kind of spirit they would have made. Good, I suppose they would have given better care to the design of the bottle as well
timer Finish
very long, salty, chalkier, with touches of lemon fizz. Incredibly bright and lively
