Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 클라이넬리시 특유의 왁스 캐릭터와 잘 익은 시트러스, 짙은 꿀이 명확하게 드러난다. 1972년 빈티지 원액이 22년 숙성을 거치며 응축한 깊이가 팰럿에서 두드러지는데 진한 밀랍과 농축된 살구잼, 옅은 해풍이 58.64도의 묵직한 알코올과 단단한 구조감으로 발전한다. 피니시에는 백후추와 가벼운 광물성이 길게 이어진다. 디아지오 레어 몰트 셀렉션이 보여주는 노쇠된 하이랜드 정통성이 또렷이 드러나는 보틀이다.

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

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
