Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
하이랜드 북동 해안 브로라 인근의 클라인리시는 특유의 왁스 같은 질감으로 이름난 증류소다. 핸드필 12년은 맑은 금빛을 띤다. 향은 옅은 석탄 연기와 뜨거운 빵 껍질, 왁스에 말린 살구와 민트가 겹친다. 57.5도의 입안은 힘차면서도 균형이 단단해 왁스와 말린 과일, 아이싱 슈거가 혀끝에서 논다. 바닷바람이 스민 소금기 어린 감초도 감돈다. 여운은 제법 길고 훈연한 사탕과 왁스가 또렷하게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
a rather smoky attack, on coal again, hot bread crust and hot wax, getting then quite fruity (dried apricots) and rather minty. Something maritime in the background (sea air) and also whiffs of eucalyptus trees, resin (a walk in a pine forest). Notes of liquorice, whiffs of camphor and quite some beer (English bitter)… Really excellent, perfectly balanced, although it’s rather less waxy and oily than the old officials, which makes me think this one comes from the new distillery and not from ‘Brora’
restaurant Palate
bold, punchy but perfectly balanced, with something rubbery at the start but also lots of wax and bunches of dried fruits and jams (apricots again, yellow plums, kumquats, citrons…) Some icing sugar that plays with the tip of your tongue… Develops on salted liquorice (Dutch, of course), cough candies, propolis chewing-gum… A nice bitterness… Notes of heavily cooked wine sauce… Extremely pleasant, and the finish is rather long and very balanced, on smoked candy sugar (!). A classic. 89 points . Clynelish 12 yo (57%, Gordon & MacPhail for Meregali, early 1980’s)
