Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑고 짙은 황금빛이 잔에 차분히 자리한다. 1966년 빈티지 클라이넬리쉬가 23년을 보낸 캐든헤드 보틀링의 향은 클라이넬리쉬 특유의 밀랍과 짭조름한 바닷바람, 잘 익은 시트러스, 그리고 오랜 숙성이 길어 올린 깊은 오크와 옅은 가죽이 우아하게 어우러진다. 한 모금에 51.7도의 견고한 도수가 두툼하게 펼쳐지며 캐러멜과 마른 사과, 가벼운 시나몬, 옅은 후추가 차례로 흐른다. 캐든헤드의 클래식 보틀링이 다듬어낸 클라이넬리쉬의 단정하고 깊은 여운.

pah pah pah pah... We're well at the old dumpies', because there's more metal, soot and fumes than at a smithy's. It's astounding whisky if you like this style. There's a little more oak influence than in the old officials, both the 5s and the 12s, as well as (even) more shoe polish, greases, engine oils, then mosses, ferns, leaves, wet dogs (sorry dogs, you know we love you)... It is immense whisky. With water: an eagle. Totally and exactly my preferred style. If you're into wine, maybe you know Dagueneau's Asteroide? Well, then this is a blend of that one with Trimbach's best Saint-Hune and Zind-Humbrecht's best dry Rangen. Fifty-fifty-fifty ;-). No need to fight

makes you cry. Not everyone is an utter fan of these dry styles, but if you are, this is the Miura or the GTO of them all. Utter waxy and sooty perfection, God's own whisky, it would even send the whole isle of Islay to the bottom if you ask me. Yes I love Islay and its whiskies, dearly. With water: crikey, it got bigger! Amazing! Even at +/-45%! I think you should call the anti-maltoporn brigade NOW
