Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 황금빛이 잔 속에 또렷이 비친다. 1971년에 병입된 12년산 클라이넬리시는 에인즐리 앤 헤일브론이 봉인한 보틀링이며, 향에서는 밀랍과 들꽃, 시나몬 향신료가 가장 먼저 코를 자극한다. 입에서는 56.9%의 캐스크 스트렝스가 짠 미네랄과 후추의 자극을 살리면서 꿀과 오렌지 껍질의 단맛을 한꺼번에 끌어올린다. 옛 클라이넬리시 특유의 왁스 같은 질감이 또렷이 깃든다. 여운은 짠맛과 보리로 길다.
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 .
