Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 클라이넬리시 특유의 밀랍 같은 질감과 마른 살구, 옅은 석탄 스모크가 먼저 명확하게 드러난다. 유칼립투스와 송진, 바다 공기의 뉘앙스가 뒤를 받친다. 팰럿은 57.5도의 힘을 싣고 살구와 자두, 금귤 잼 같은 과일 위로 소금 감초와 아이싱 슈거가 또렷하게 발전한다. 왁시한 오일리함이 입안을 매끄럽게 감싼다. 피니시는 길고 균형 잡혀 있으며 훈연된 사탕수수 단맛이 남는 핸드 필드 몰트다.
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)
