Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 맑은 금빛이 잔 벽에 기름진 자국을 남기며 흘러내린다. 코끝으로 가져가면 클라인리시 특유의 밀랍 같은 질감과 레몬, 바닷바람의 짠 기운이 차례로 솟는다. 한 모금을 머금으면 1989년 증류해 12년을 보낸 원액답게 왁스 같은 매끈함과 귤 껍질의 산미가 혀를 미끄러지듯 따라가고 60.2도의 높은 도수가 후추 같은 자극을 더한다. 삼키면 짭짤한 광물감과 꿀의 단맛이 또렷이 깃들어 있다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
rather powerful and fragrant but very noseable at such high strength. Very fresh, very clean, with notes of coffee, cut apples, newly mown grass and quite some smoke. But right, it does get overpowering now, so quick, some water! Ah, now we have the usual bold waxy notes, lots of farmy aromas (wet hay and ‘clean’ manure as often) and whiffs of smoke. Something milky in the background. The whole is very fresh, maybe a little simple but very ‘young Clynelish’. I like that
restaurant Palate
very sweet and fruity, with lots tangerines, pineapples, apples and pears… Simple but nice, getting burning… With water: it doesn’t change much, except that we do have something waxy again now, as well as notes of marshmallows and bubble gum. Lots of body, even when reduced to roughly 45%. The finish is long, nicely citrusy and with an enjoyable bitterness. A prototypical young Clynelish. 86 points . Clynelish 1989/2003 (60.6%, Blackadder, cask #6088)
