Tasting 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 . Clynelish 12 yo (56.9%, OB for Edward & Edward, white label, rotation 1971)
