Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아란 재팬이 클라이넬리시 1989를 버번 캐스크에서 9년 담아 59.4도로 병입한 싱글 캐스크다. 노즈는 광물처럼 건조하고 엄격하며, 보리와 풀 내음, 자몽에 바닐라는 옅게만 드러난다. 팰럿은 강하고 흙내 어린 질감 위로 후추와 와사비 같은 매운 향신료, 레몬의 산미가 또렷하게 발전한다. 젊은 클라이넬리시답게 다듬어지지 않은 야성적 힘이 구조감을 세운다. 피니시는 길고, 레몬즙에 우린 생강 같은 알싸한 여운이 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
a different kind of beast, surely. Much more austere, mineral, closer to the barley and also much grassier. Just as many notes of grapefruits but much less vanilla. Well, just when you found a very dry one you find an even drier one! With water: becomes acetic and a little beery. That’s no good development I’m afraid… Leaven and baker’s yeast - and tons of it
restaurant Palate
big, powerful and earthier than its siblings. Less polished, more peppery, wilder and, to tell you the truth, more extreme than many Clynelishes I’ve known. Yes, personally. Is that only the youth? Becomes very, very spicy after a while (wasabi and not just a pinhead!) With water: recovers and becomes wonderfully lemony, although something too yeasty remains in the background
timer Finish
long, on ginger infused in lemon juice. You get the drift
