Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
of course. Clynelish was a very young distillery when this was produced, as it wasn’t even five, and yet they had managed to hit immaculate and definitive glory. Well, I agree that’s just a personal opinion. We’ll simply mention ‘a beehive’, some citron marmalade, and a great old Graves blanc from a super vintage. Ite missa est. With water: very impressionistic. Or rather pointillistic. Myriads of tiny aromas everywhere, and yet a feeling of a massive, almost monolithic whole. Beeswax, this is pure beeswax
restaurant Palate
one of these things that leave you speechless. Mouton 2000, Robuchon’s purée, a Bugatti Atalante, Coltrane’s My Favourite Things, Donald Trump`s concession speech, the last scene of The Queen’s Gambit, or indeed this Clynelish Rare Malts (find the odd-one-out). Pure ambrosia, or the most stunning mead ever produced by gods. It’s all about waxes and honeys, you know. With water: impressive. Citrus, herbs, honeys, waxes, flowers… And strictly all subcategories. This session is way too long already, otherwise I would have started to list a few…
timer Finish
long and always on this utterly perfect balance between anything made by bees and some glorious old white wines
