Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
북부 하이랜드 해안가에 선 클라이넬리시는 서늘한 바닷바람 속에서 특유의 왁스 같은 기름진 질감을 빚어낸다. 1995년 증류해 26년을 채운 만큼 잔에는 깊은 황금빛이 돈다. 향은 밀랍과 시트러스, 짭조름한 바다 내음과 잘 익은 배가 어우러져 올라온다. 56.2도의 도수로 입에서는 꿀과 양초, 바닷소금과 옅은 후추의 풍미가 또렷한 구조감으로 흐른다. 여운은 왁스의 기름진 질감과 옅은 소금기, 시트러스가 길고 깊게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it is certain that the freshness was toned down, but it is just as certain that some lovely chocolate and tobacco are making up for that. A wee feeling of armagnac, perhaps, some raisins, surely a few pencil shavings, a Mars bar, millionaire shortbread… So, some Clynelishness has been lost but balance has been kept. With water: classic walnut wine and cigars
restaurant Palate
hold on hold on hold on hold on, this works! We're far from just chocolate and tobacco, it is got a chicken-soup quality, even some venison, chocolate sauce (mole), hoisin and miso, something slightly metallic and salty, but no actual dissonances. Hurray. With water: that's the thing, with these profiles you need to have the proportions of water right or you could flatten your whisky and make it too dry. Hard work but I think I succeeded, with just two drops
timer Finish
long, very chocolaty. Oloroso-y aftertaste
