Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
북부 하이랜드 브로라 해안의 차가운 북해 바람이 클라이넬리시 특유의 왁시함을 만들어낸 풍토이며 1971년 병입된 12년의 캐릭터에 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 잔에는 옅은 황금빛이 비친다. 향에는 밀랍과 시트러스 껍질, 가벼운 짠맛이 빠르게 인사하고 입에서는 56.9도의 도수가 왁스의 기름기와 흰 후추, 광물성을 빠르게 펼친다. 여운은 왁시한 질감으로 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
extremely fresh and vibrant, with the trademark waxiness right upfront. Like always, these old Clynelishes make me think of the best ‘mineral’ Rieslings. Lots of rubbed orange skin, paraffin, iron, wet stone, developing then on linseed oil and lemon juice. A fabulous sharpness and lots of precision. Goes on with something very maritime, sea air, old fisherman’s nest… Hints of melon and quince. Really excellent
restaurant Palate
fab, just fab. Creamy but not limp, powerful but not violent, with a compactness that reminds me of the best old Springbanks. Lots of bitter oranges, wax, olive oil and honey, something subtly resinous, quite some peat, pepper and nutmeg, Japanese green tea… All that with a perfect balance. And the finish is long, slightly minty but also sweet and coating. Brilliant stuff again – a young whisky as it should be, if you ask me. 94 points .
