Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔 속에 잠긴 짙은 호박빛이 1972년의 시간을 가만히 비춘다. 아델피가 보틀링한 클라이넬리쉬 1972는 57.3도의 카스크 스트렝스로 70년대 노던 하이랜드 증류소의 왁시한 매력을 곱게 풀어낸다. 향은 옅은 왁스와 짭조름한 갯바람, 마른 풀의 향. 입에서는 꿀에 절인 시트러스와 보리 사탕, 가벼운 미네랄이 두꺼운 질감으로 흐른다. 70년대 클라이넬리쉬 특유의 깊이가 여운에 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
quite punchy, even a little aggressive. I does not start on the usual waxy/fruity notes but rather on Swiss cheese (fresh gruyere) and herbal/grassy notes (fern, lettuce). Some bold notes of mashed potatoes, soy sauce, Maggi, gravy... Develops on cider, English bitter beer (not the bitter one), wine sauce, cooked fresh cream. Some notes of apple juice but other than that, very little fruit (perhaps some coconut juice). A profile that’s very unusual for a 1971 Clynelish but I like it a lot
restaurant Palate
quite sharp! Rather salty, herbal, peppery… Again, very ‘different’. Notes of strong coffee (ristretto), dried parsley, Japanese green tea (the one they use to spice up dishes), sweet pepper, burnt caramel… A little austere, I must say. Gets quite woody and tannic, drying but not too much. Long, slightly bitter finish, on strong tea and liquorice roots. A different early ‘new’ Clynelish, worth trying, definitely. 88 points . Clynelish 1972/2000 (57.3%, Celtic Legends, cask #14265)
