Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
북부 하이랜드 브로라 해안의 짭짤한 바닷바람과 황량한 너른 풀밭이 클라이넬리시 41년의 캐릭터를 처음부터 끝까지 관통한다. 호그마니 캐스크에서 41년을 보낸 디스틸러리 보틀링은 짙은 황금빛이 잔에 머문다. 향은 짠 왁스, 꿀, 마른 시트러스, 옅은 미네랄이 또렷이 드러난다. 45.2도 알코올은 부드럽게 흐르며 토피, 비단 같은 바닐라, 마른 잔디를 펼친다. 여운은 짠 왁스가 길게 따라간다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it needs time. There’s something metallic upfront, this may go away with oxygen. Zzz… zzz… Good, stewed rhubarb, old garage, leather polish, nettle soup, sage, brake fluid, porridge oats, brand new magazines, old books (so ink), rusty nails… It seems that this is a rather cerebral old malt. What’s perfect is that nobody’s thought of re-racking this cask. Bless ‘em
restaurant Palate
a-m-a-z-i-n-g. Bone dry, metallic, petroly, mineral… Do you know Trimbach’s Clos Ste Hune, by any chance? And once again, it’s rather a Brora-ish Clynelish. What’s really strange is that we’ve never seen any Brora 1973. Could we please meet with the gentleman who was responsible for stencilling the casks back in 1973? Please? Or his family? We’ll bring chocolates and good wine… Ashes, pepper, mustard, hay, tar, seaweed fire… Yeah I know, Brora…
timer Finish
long, majestically dry, sharp, concise, precise, ashy, mineral… You may call the anti-maltoporn brigade, but that would be a little too late. My bad
