Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 클라인리시 특유의 밀랍과 꿀, 옅은 소금기가 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 1974년 빈티지의 23년 하이랜드 몰트로 레어 몰트 셀렉션답게 기름진 왁스 향이 노즈를 지배한다. 팰럿에서는 59.1도의 강한 도수가 만드는 시트러스와 캐러멜, 후추의 향신료가 두꺼운 질감으로 흐른다. 피니시는 길게 이어지며 짭조름한 미네랄과 왁스, 마른 오크가 또렷하게 남는다. 올드 클라인리시 특유의 기름진 구조감이 단단하게 짜인 보틀이다.

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
restaurant Palate
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?
