Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

very punchy, starting ‘only’ on vanilla, mint and candle wax. Gets then waxier and waxier, quite resinous as well just like the other 13. Hints of apple peel, fresh walnuts... And then ultra-big notes of coriander and fresh parsley mixed with plain grain. Let’s see what happens with water: it all settles down a bit – I said a bit – and becomes more classic, albeit a little grassier than usual with Clynelish. Loads of apple peel plus a little coal smoke, soot... Also whiffs of ‘farmyard after the rain’

restaurant Palate

big, big notes of coconuts reminding me of some grain whiskies. Also vanillin, plain oak, sugar... There may have been new staves used here! Not much Clynelish character at this stage. With water: more of the same, even if it got a little more ‘Highlander’. Much more salt as well, as well as bitter oranges

timer Finish

long, a tad more of a classic Clynelish
