we’re changing profiles here, with more freshness, more citrus fruits (lemon, grapefruits), a much bigger minerality and many earthy and rooty notes as well as a more obvious peatiness. It is one of these 1973 Clynelishes that tends to be a little more Brora-ish, which can’t be bad news! Also some fresh mint, a little wasabi and a faint farminess. Brora indeed. With water: it changed a little less than the 1971 and 1972. Peatier for sure, but also a tad bubblegummy later on. A little bizarre

how young and nervous! More classically ‘Clynelish’, maybe a tiny-wee bit more spirity than other versions (there are still notes of pear drops and tinned pineapples in this 33 years old), with quite some lemon, a mild waxiness, crystallised oranges, peat and hints of spearmint. Sweet mustard. With water: more notes of sweets and gumdrops. Definitely unexpected
timer Finish
long again but once again, this ‘young fruitiness’ is strange in an old Clynelish. Something from the sherry?
