Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가볍게 돌리면 옅은 황금빛이 잔벽에 기름진 흔적을 남기며 흘러내린다. 잔을 코끝에 가져가면 클라이넬리시 특유의 왁스와 시트러스 껍질 향이 명확히 인사한다. 한 모금을 머금으면 61.3도 캐스크 스트렝스의 강렬한 알코올이 입을 데우며 24년이 새긴 미네랄 노트가 묵직하게 흐른다. 천천히 삼키면 하이랜드 특유의 짠 왁스 질감이 입천장에 길게 남는다.

air Nose
I don’t think I’ll need to describe this nose for you. I’ll simply say that it’s a slightly flinty and cigary, yet pretty magnificent and vibrant 1972 Clynelish from a more than perfect sherry cask. Big, big stuff. With water: excuse me, but wow. I mean, wow! Fir trees, mushrooms, a box of puros, blood oranges, burning vine stock, old chartreuse, burnt beef, gingerbread, hundreds of spices…
restaurant Palate
hits you right between the eyes. High-impact orangey sherry, fabulously zesty and thick at the same time, with an incredible body and plenty of smoked meats. Will that do? With water: yeah, leather, tobacco, a curious feeling of overripe strawberries (that can happen with sherry casks), guavas, more blood oranges, an amazing spice mix… Please call the anti-maltoporn brigade!
timer Finish
very long, smoky, jammy, spicy and, as expected, rather waxy as well. After all, this is Clynelish. Sadly, the aftertaste is a notch drying and too chocolaty for my taste. Loses one or two points here
