Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 클라인리시다운 팽팽하고 유기적인 개성이 먼저 두드러지고, 요오드 팅크와 초록 담뱃잎, 고사리와 이끼, 젖은 백묵이 명확하게 드러난다. 물을 더하면 블러드 오렌지와 특유의 왁스가 열린다. 팰럿은 날카롭고 크며 블랙커런트와 흙내음, 쌉싸름한 허브가 발전한다. 57.3도의 도수와 19년 숙성이 다소 금욕적인 하이랜드 몰트를 곧게 세운다. 피니시는 비슷한 결로 이어지며 약재 같은 뉘앙스와 옅은 피트가 또렷이 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
there’s a sucrosity in this nose, but that won’t last, since it’s rather a tense, slightly yeasty, pretty organic and medicinal Clynelish that rises to your nostrils. Tincture of iodine, green tobacco, fern and moss, wet chalk, lager beer… Maybe is that the high strength? With water: smoother, with more fruits. Blood oranges, perhaps. Also the expected wax, and various tiny berries – or rather the spirits made thereof. Sorb, holly, elderberries…
restaurant Palate
huge, sharp like a blade, with unexpected notes of blackcurrant fruits and buds, possibly from the alcohol. Let’s see… With water: great, but earthy, chalky, slightly bitter and herbal, with less fruits than expected. An austere Clynelish
timer Finish
same-ish, with this medicinal side once again. Not unlike a lightly peated Laphroaig. No, not Laphroaig Select! ;-)
