Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
첫 향에서 클라이넬리시 특유의 왁스와 비밀랍 노트가 두드러진다. 1972년 증류 빈티지답게 잘 익은 트로피컬 프루트와 파인애플, 망고가 발전해 레어 몰트 셀렉션의 정수가 명확하게 드러난다. 팰럿은 57도의 강한 도수가 입안을 묵직하게 채우며 꿀, 시트러스 껍질, 백후추가 단단한 구조감을 이룬다. 23년 숙성의 깊이가 또렷이 깃들고 피니시는 왁스, 마른 오크, 가벼운 소금기가 길게 발전한다.
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)
