Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
1971년경 병입된 올드 클라인리시로, 다른 빈티지보다 도드라진 훈연이 노즈에서 곧바로 두드러진다. 재와 파라핀, 아마씨 기름 같은 뉘앙스가 차례로 발전한다. 팰럿은 43도에서 레몬과 멘톨, 장뇌 같은 서늘함에 이례적인 피트가 얽혀 다소 엄격하다. 피니시는 아주 길게 이어지며 재와 해초, 그을음이 남는다. 옛 클라인리시의 개성이 짙게 담긴 보틀링이다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
the smoke here is rather more dominant than in other old Clynelish, with heaps of ashes, paraffin, linseed oil, those delicately balsamic notes we’re so fond of, plus chalk, limestone, almond oil, citrus, a chalky, cementy edge, hints of spent fireworks, seaweed... Without a doubt, this is the most ‘Islay’ of the old Clynelishes, and it’s hardly surprising that the owners chose this distillery to pursue an ‘Islay-style’ whisky towards the end of the 1960s. That’s the spirit of Brora
restaurant Palate
a tad austere at first, very Old Clynelish, all on lemons, menthol, camphor and, once again, a surprisingly peaty character. At least, compared with other versions. Lovely yeasty, saline touches, and never does it bow its head
timer Finish
supremely long, salty, packed with ashes, seaweed and soot. That sootiness is a bit of a hallmark here as well
