Tasting Notes
Colour
light gold
air Nose
the late 1980s are not quite part of the most famous vintages of Clynelish, but this time I doubt you could find more beeswax and warm pinewood anywhere else. Neither would you detect this much soft citrus (think pomelos, tangerine), then stewed rhubarb, or this perfect wonderful chalk/raw wool combination. A part reminds of some very chalky champagnes, minus the wee bubbles, naturally. Pure Clynelishness
restaurant Palate
30+ is such a perfect age. There's some tannicity for sure, but it's a greener kind that would rather remind us of some lovely apple peel and of high-end green tea, or Wulong as well. Behind that, all citrus you could think of plus the trademark waxiness, once again rather around beeswax than towards 'artificial' candles, paraffin or else. Amazing zesty development then, on grated grapefruit peel, yuzu and so on. Faultless, while strength and body are Picture-perfect
timer Finish
a tighter, much more citrusy Clynelish than usual in the end
