Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
북부 하일랜드 브로라 바닷가의 클라인리시는 밀랍 같은 질감으로 이름 높다. 보데가 셰리와 리필 아메리칸 오크에서 20년을 보낸 이 200주년 기념 보틀링은 짙은 황금빛을 띠고, 향은 바다 내음과 토피, 게뷔르츠트라미너 같은 와인 향에 멜론과 자두잼이 겹친다. 57.3도의 입안은 크리미하게 열려 캐러멜과 볶은 견과, 마르멜로의 왁스가 감돈다. 여운은 과일 리큐어와 스피어민트, 은은한 밀랍을 남기며 길고 매끄럽게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
extremely fresh and maritime at first nosing (sea air) but soon to get incredibly caramelly and winey, smelling almost like a late harvest gewürztraminer or a straw wine. Dried longans, overripe melons, plum jam… Lots of toffee as well, nougat, roasted peanuts, sultanas… And a little rubber arising (which should happen at first nosing usually) as well as whiffs of fireplace and toasted bread… Lots of personality and lots of freshness considering the very active cask
restaurant Palate
very creamy, almost to be eaten with a spoon, starting on lots of caramel, burnt cake, all kinds of roasted nuts, rum, candy sugar, crystallised fruits (quince) but maybe also something slightly rubbery and bitter. It’s almost impossible this one was a refill butt – or was it wine-treated before it got filled last time? Then we have Clynelish’s main marker, waxiness (that I didn’t get on the nose) and finally different kinds of fruit eaux-de-vies, mostly stone fruits (mirabelle plums, sorb apples, kirsch…) Very good! And the finish is rather long, creamy again, on fruit liqueurs and spearmint… A very thick, very good sherried Clynelish! 88 points . Clynelish 20 yo (56.9%, Cadenhead’s Original Collection, 18.75cl, early 1990’s)
