Tasting 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)
