Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 황금빛이 잔에 또렷이 비친다. 하이랜드 클라인리쉬가 1972년에 빚은 원액이 23년의 시간을 보낸 뒤 디스틸러리 보틀링의 레어 몰트 셀렉션으로 57.1도의 캐스크 강도에 병입된 보틀링이다. 향에는 클라인리쉬 특유의 밀랍과 잘 익은 사과, 옅은 시트러스와 약간의 바닷내음이 깊게 깃들어 있다. 입에서는 꿀과 보리, 미세한 광물성이 두꺼운 질감으로 흐르고 왁스의 광택이 입천장을 덮는다. 여운에는 밀랍과 우드의 결이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
quite punchy, even a little aggressive. I does not start on the usual waxy/fruity notes but rather on Swiss cheese (fresh gruyere) and herbal/grassy notes (fern, lettuce). Some bold notes of mashed potatoes, soy sauce, Maggi, gravy... Develops on cider, English bitter beer (not the bitter one), wine sauce, cooked fresh cream. Some notes of apple juice but other than that, very little fruit (perhaps some coconut juice). A profile that’s very unusual for a 1971 Clynelish but I like it a lot
restaurant Palate
quite sharp! Rather salty, herbal, peppery… Again, very ‘different’. Notes of strong coffee (ristretto), dried parsley, Japanese green tea (the one they use to spice up dishes), sweet pepper, burnt caramel… A little austere, I must say. Gets quite woody and tannic, drying but not too much. Long, slightly bitter finish, on strong tea and liquorice roots. A different early ‘new’ Clynelish, worth trying, definitely. 88 points . Clynelish 1972/2000 (57.3%, Celtic Legends, cask #14265)
